Sharing Knowledge Among Users
To share knowledge and influence SAP development efforts, our customers have established “users’ groups” in regions around the world. Two of the largest of these are the Americas’ SAP Users’ Group (ASUG), with more than 50,000 members, and the Deutschsprachige SAP-Anwendergruppe (DSAG), with 23,000 members. In the past, there was little interaction among the SAP users’ groups across regions. In 2007, however, SAP initiated a program in which all users’ groups could share knowledge and organizational best practices with one another. This new approach has led to an energetic new conversation that will benefit the entire SAP ecosystem.
“A Thriving Economy in its Own Right ”
In the strongest evidence yet that its ecosystem strategy is delivering real value to customers, partners and developers, the independent analyst firm IDC has declared the SAP ecosystem “a thriving economy in its own right”. According to the IDC report, “The recent rise of SAP as the leading enterprise applications vendor across multiple customer and product categories has created a booming economy whereby an increasing number of developers and resellers are jockeying for the attention of the market leader and its installed base of more than 41,000 customers.”
