We would like to remind you to keep your ASUG profiles up-to-date. This will create the maximum advantage for you to network with your peers and ensure that you receive timely and relevant information for your business.

If you have contacts with other business intelligence companies that are not active in ASUG, please encourage them to become an active part of our group.

Influence Activities


The ASUG BI Communities have several ASUG Influence Councils that work with SAP to provide a customer point of view during the development of new products and the continued enhancement of current releases. These Influence Councils have been very productive, resulting in the advancement of education, mobile BI, analysis products, and SAP® BusinessObjects™ Web Intelligence®, to name a few.

Some councils will be meeting at the upcoming 2018 ASUG Annual Conference. Others will be meeting virtually via webcast. Be on the lookout for more information regarding these Influence sessions. If you see a topic you are interested in, please visit the ASUG Influence Council Web Page

Recruiting for the existing ASUG BI Influence Councils will happen at SAPPHIRE NOW and ASUG Annual Conference in Orlando. Join us.
