AFSUG’s vision is to enable each customer to maximize SAP’s benefits by
networking with like-minded peers. Through this collaborative approach, shared
challenges are transformed into effective solutions.
Mission
AFSUG’s mission, aligned with
all Global SAP User Groups, is to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas,

Values
AFSUG values creating a safe environment where SAP customers can share their
journey, thereby reducing the risk of future projects. The platform connects
