Being part of a technology network has afforded me significant learning opportunities and in so doing enabling me, as mentioned above, to share these learnings.

AFSUG has opened up many doors in my professional career. AFSUG has placed me on the map in South Africa and being part of the Steerco it has opened up international doors allowing me to participate in international SIG’s.

This community is so important as technology is always changing and having a peer available that may have the knowledge you require and vice versa. It helps from an implementation side so that if there are lessons learnt or any pain points it is good to know beforehand so one does not feel that you are in this alone.

Sharing and hearing about user experiences in implementing their solutions has added great value for me. Being part of AFSUG creates collaboration among the users and this makes the community richer. AFSUG fosters relationships and its contribution to the industry is immeasurable.

I would absolutely recommend AFSUG to other organizations: Great platform to network with and learn from people in the same industry. Exposure to different organizations and expertise. Exposure to industry leaders that you may not have ordinarily had access to.

AFSUG affords An opportunity to drive improvements to solutions implemented rather as a single entity/company. An opportunity to share and discuss innovative change and adoption solutions as we fast track our digital transformation.

AFSUG is a networking platform, and your ideas can be taken to SAP global - all global SAP User groups are connected. AFSUG allows you access to see what other organisations have implemented and also understand their difficulties.

AFSUG offers: Access to experts Building relationships Opportunity to share your ideas

AFSUG broadened my exposure to new perspectives in my field beyond what I was only exposed to in my day to day.

The SIG in important as it is central place for knowledge sharing and creates opportunities for customers to test ideas with peers who might have already solved or experienced the issues. I will recommend AFSUG because they provide:

Access to knowledge and lessons learnt in a positive environment. Access to experts without having to always hire consultants Get update to views and opinions from peers and thought leaders
