1- Education

What you don’t know can truly hurt you.  The Summit provides an atmosphere that is jam packed with opportunities  to learn and learn some more.  While not specifically a classroom experience, the Summit will make you much more aware of the  extensive capabilities of SAP Business One.  Awareness is the beginning of true knowledge increase.

In the present development atmosphere changes to SAP Business One and the  vast collection of Addons occur more rapidly than ever before.  There is no other event where such a omprehensive  presentation of solutions and their various changes and road maps are  presented. This event is designed to keep you up-to-date and well informed regarding the entire SAP  Business One portfolio of solutions.  There is no better way to be educated about  SAP Business One because the event is tremendously represented and sponsored by everyone in the business of providing solutions for SAP Business One.

This also includes an incredible presence by SAP leadership responsible for sales,  support, and the development of SAP Business One.  With 10 workshops being led by SAP staff you  will have the ability to engage personally with publisher’s representatives.

2- Networking

Many customers, especially in their implementation phase, ask questions such as:

How  did they solve this problem?

Isn’t there a report already created that does  that?

How do other customers do this?

The majority of those who attend this Summit are customers who run their  businesses on SAP Business One every day.  Some are brand new and others have been live and operational for up to 8  years.  By attending the summit you can  meet many other companies, some very similar to yours.  Together you can discuss how you run on Sap Business  One and how you have uniquely configured and designed the system to meet your  business needs.

In addition, there are four customers leading workshops.  Interestingly, two of these customers are in  the farming industry, one deployed the new starter package on a “hosted”  environment.  One has multiple companies,  and the other has self-created multiple addons and integrations with the  web.  These presenters are:

1-  Pandol Brothers Farms

2-  Durk’s Farm Service

3-  Virtual Graffiti

4-  Regal Springs Tilapia

The ability to hear from others running the solution can deliver very high  value.  If you are a new customer, you  can receive great encouragement that you are not in this alone.  If you have been running SAP Business One for  years you will learn that this is a far better solution than it used to  be.  They will even answer your  questions.

3- Influence

Ever wish you could sit down and talk with SAP about what you like, don’t  like, or wish they would fix or add to SAP Business One?  If so, you can’t afford to miss the  Summit.  There will be close to 20 SAP
staff people attending Summit.  Countless  informal conversations and workshop opportunities will have a significant amount of influence on the future of the product in which you have invested.  This is your chance to represent the wishes of your company.  Be assured, SAP wants to hear from you.  They want to know the experience of the user.

Likewise, many users run one or more Addons for SAP Business One.  The most significant SSPs (Software Solution Providers) attend the Summit, as sponsors and also lead workshops for their various solutions.  You can have the same experience with these solution providers.  They also want to engage with you and find your input tremendously valuable.  You can help them to improve their products, enhance the customer experience and become their partner in building a better solution,  At least 36 different SSPs will be attending the Summit and available for you to speak with.

4- Unfolding The Future

In Future Shock, Alvin Toffler wrote, “Change is the process by which the future invades our lives.”

As it relates to SAP Business One, the future is now!
The pace of Change is increasingly presenting challenges to users of SAP Business one.

At least four major themes of change are driving the future development of SAP Business One.

1. New Development Leadership – (Andreas Wolfinger is speaking and presenting at the Summit)
2. Mobility – (Mobile devices are impacting businesses everywhere)
3.  Business Objects – (SAP owns BOBJ and is deploying it into SAP Business One)
4. In  Memory Processing – (Code Name HANA is changing the ERP world)

Is your  businesses ready for the future?  Are you able to shed some light on the future for your organization?  Will you be ready to take advantage of the technology?  Will you be ahead of your competition?  Or, will you safely follow and miss the wave?  With interpretive vision you chose to partner with SAP and selected SAP Business One.  You trusted SAP to be the industry leader, and they are.  Your investment has returned great dividends.  To collect on them and start developing your businesses future based strategies attend the ASUG Business one Summit.

5- Cost Effectiveness

Education, Networking, Influence, and Unfolding the Future; all tremendous benefits you receive by attending the ASUG Business One Summit.  It’s all Business One all the time.  If you run your business on SAP Business One there is no other opportunity to make one trip, one commitment of time, and one investment in the future.  You will learn more, make more friends, understand the power of your software better, and experience a new relationship with your publisher, by making this investment.  It’s cost effective.

Companies make significant investments and entrust the future of their businesses to SAP when selecting SAP Business One.  Helping make that decision, or being charged with maintaining the system that was chosen makes you an SAP Business One Champion for your company.  As Champion you must watch over the system, making certain that it is delivering the return on investment expected.  The total cost of ownership includes what it takes to stay-up-to-date as the SAP Business One Champion.  This is the most cost effective way to insure that your company is getting its money’s worth and that you are qualified to serve as the SAP Business One Champion.
