SAP and ASUG Volunteers invite your input at these ASUG Influence Sessions at SAP TechEd Las Vegas at BI/BusinessObjects/Enterprise Information Management/Business Warehouse Influence sessions.  SAP's Ingo Hilgefort spoke about the power of one voice, something that Influence Councils provide, in this blog.
