Now in its sixth year, the SAUG (SAP Australian User Group) Canberra Forum for 2011 will be held at the Hotel Realm, Barton on 5 May.
The single-day annual event provides a forum for more than 150 public sector professionals to discuss challenges unique to their SAP landscape.
Representatives from federal, state and local government will be attending the event, which is considered invaluable to the entire IT team, from SAP program directors to business process managers and solutions architects.
The forum will begin with SAUG chair Grahame Reynolds welcoming attendees and providing an update on SAUG activities since the last event.
SAP Australia and New Zealand’s Andrew Fox and Tim Wilkes will update SAUG members on SAP’s progress in delivering against its on premise, on demand and on device product strategy in 2011.
Sybase’s Lisa Leal will conduct a strategic and business focus session on transforming enterprises with mobility.
Other sessions include: Darren Smailes of AirServices Australia talking about the future of business; Alex El-Debel of the Department of Immigration giving a keynote address on revenue receipting at the DoI; SAP ANZ’s Sanjiv Bansal conducting a focus session on SAP Business Intelligence 4.0; Anthony Omage and Bradley Knights talking SAP real estate with DEEWR; and Adam Doszpot giving a focus session on GRC Access Control.
Darren Smailes will return in the afternoon to discuss Interactive Forms, and principal and director Tim Conway will wrap it up with a strategic-based keynote address on ‘The Government ICT Reform Agenda: Two years after Gershon’.
A two-hour general session has then been scheduled for member networking.
The event is sponsored by ASG, C-NET, Compuware, LRS and Fujitsu.
