Welcome to the SAP UK & Ireland User Group
2010 User Conference Update: SAP Co-CEO confirmed as keynote speaker
We are delighted to announce that we have secured SAP’s recently appointed Co-CEO, Jim Hagemann Snabe as a keynote speaker at this year’s Annual User Conference. This is a great coup for the User Group and is the first time that we have had the company’s CEO participating at the conference.
Jim was appointed Co-CEO, alongside Bill McDermott, in February 2010. He has been with SAP for the last 20 years holding a variety of consulting, sales and product development roles. He continues to lead the Business Solutions & Technology organisation and for the last two years he has also been an Executive Board member. More on Jim’s career history can be found here http://www.sap.com/about/company/executives/snabe/index.epx.
As you know, the User Group Conference has always been a great event so having SAP’s joint chief in attendance will only add to it even more. At a User Group level, it is also further demonstrates the strides we are making engaging with SAP globally, building on our already strong involvement with SUGEN.
On SAP’s part we believe this is further evidence of the company’s promise to get closer to its customers. Indeed, in a recent open letter to customers Jim and Bill stated that “Customers are at the very centre of our strategy” – so here is hoping that both continue to stay true to their word.
The 2010 Annual User Group Conference will be a unique opportunity for UK & Ireland User Group members to hear from the highest level of SAP management. Don’t miss out and sign up for what will be a great 2 ½ days in Manchester.
