Americas' SAP Users' Group Partners with SAP to Deliver Preeminent Business Operations Event

The Americas' SAP Users' Group (ASUG), the world's largest customer-run community of SAP professionals, is collaborating with SAP to host four focused events September 19-21 at the San Francisco Marriott in San Francisco.

These concurrently running events, expected to attract more than 1,200 attendees, will bring together the combined resources, talent, and knowledge of SAP and its user group community, to deliver a comprehensive program complete with technical educational sessions, networking, and vendor exhibitions. By combining their knowledge and experiences, ASUG will increase the opportunities for its members to interact in a more meaningful and value-added manner with SAP, while creating a strong focus on user needs and issues. In an effort to help ensure attendees make the most of their time, customers that register for one event are able to attend sessions at all four.

"ASUG is committed to bringing our members the highest quality education and actionable information that attendees can use to make a real difference in their organization," said Rodney Masney, ASUG President. "These events offer a flexible format that allows attendees to make the most of their time out of the office and tailor an agenda that is just right for their company and individual needs."

Attendees will learn from more than 225 SAP users and SAP experts who will share their success stories around topics such as ERP upgrades, integrated supply chain, RFID, Supplier Relationship Management, managing projects, EH&S, lowering maintenance costs, and SAP's Perfect Plant for Lean Planning & Operations. The Washington Post and General Mills, Inc. are just a few of the SAP customers who will share their experiences at this preeminent event opportunity.

"Realizing operational excellence in an environment where globalization, regulatory compliance, and cost containment continue to expand is more challenging than ever," said Harald Stuckert, senior vice president and general manager of the Product and Technology Unit (PTU) SCM, PLM and Manufacturing, SAP Americas, Inc. "Our customers represent the leading organizations in their respective industries and we are thrilled to have many of them joining us in San Francisco to share their experiences and advice on leveraging SAP solutions and best practices with attendees."

Motivational speaker, Bill Butterworth, will provide the Closing General Session Keynote at the event. As one of the most sought after speakers in North America for the past 20 years, Mr. Butterworth will share his insights on using balance to achieve long term success and how to embrace change.
