It’s been another great year for UKISUG, with our biggest-ever CONNECT, 25 new partners onboarded, and even more networking and education opportunities for our members. To find out more about how we have supported our members, we’re pleased to announce the launch of our latest Annual Report. Collaboration and networking are at the heart of our mission as a user group. Collaboration drives innovation, and by working together our members educate themselves on new approaches to solving common business problems. And it’s through networking with peers at our events that many of our members have developed and flourished in their careers. As UKISUG continues to evolve, we believe bringing the SAP community together is more important than ever. Over the last year, we have worked with our volunteers and stakeholders to look at the structure of our Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and how we keep our offering truly relevant as the SAP solutions landscape evolves. As a result, we will be replacing our existing 26 SIGs with 17 dedicated Communities. There will be further details to follow in the coming weeks of how these look and how you can be sure you are connected to the right community. Packed with insights, achievements, and strategic initiatives, the report provides a comprehensive overview of our contributions to the SAP ecosystem and its impact on members and stakeholders alike. In our Annual Report, we delved into several critical aspects of our operations, achievements, and contributions to the SAP ecosystem.

The adoption of SAP S/4HANA continues to be a key objective for many organisations. Yet there are challenges – both for those planning to move and those that already have. Many organisations are concerned about SAP’s cloud innovation strategy – leading some to re-evaluate their business case for moving to SAP S/4HANA. What’s more, an increasing number of those that have already moved to SAP S/4HANA believe that integration presents them with a challenge. A lack of available skills also continues to worry organisations, especially those still planning to make the move. RISE with SAP, was launched three years ago to help organisations smooth the path to S/4HANA. To learn more about organisations S/4HANA plans and challenges, along with take up rates and experiences of RISE with SAP, we surveyed 123 key decision makers at SAP user organisations. Log in to read the full report. Not a member? complete your details and someone from the team will be in touch to discuss how you can access the report.

While closing S1/2023, we find SUGEN working on a new initiative called "Guide to Growth". Indeed, our User Groups are facing new challenges, and they have to pave their way for the future. How to educate members with the Cloud approach that SAP intends to apply, how to have more implication of LOB people, how to finalize the transformation to a new model after the 2020 and 2021 health crisis... in a world where geopolitics are completely shuffled and we are all experiencing world crisis that only ¾ years ago, we did not even think we could live in? Inflation is coming back with higher ratios than in the past, and technology also has to cope with all the new tensions arriving in different parts of the world. These topics were also the unofficial red thread of our F2F that stretched between April and June 2023, with a lot of exchanges in person, when we met in the Heidelberg AppHaus in the beginning of spring and especially the one with Christian Klein, but also with a very deep and interesting virtual F2F with Thomas Saueressig beginning of summer, that somehow closed this cycle. And while Christian clearly outlined how SAP foresees the future with a lot of cloud coupled with the impacts out of political tensions here and there around the globe, Thomas provided valuable insights on Artificial Intelligence and the questions of ethics behind it. In the middle, between these two moments, we lived SAPPHIRE, with its announcements about Green Ledger, Business Network and SAP leveraging AI. If we look at the path we have walked out in these last 6 months, we have to admit the world is changing extremely fast. SAP world and ecosystem are also changing very fast: but as SUGEN members, we have the capacity and the will to influence it. Our members are asking this from us, and we will deliver this service to them. Let's keep our momentum, and let's go more and more forward. Gianmaria Perancin
