Last week the Americas SAP User Group (ASUG) held the second annual Business One Summit at the Lake Lanier Islands Resort just outside Atlanta. This event, sponsored by ASUG and not SAP, is designed for SAP Business One users. SAP supported the event by sending leading executives, the head of Business One development and several members of his team, plus several field representatives who performed hands on training on several aspects of the product.
In just its second year attendance seemed to grow to over 500 attendees and the expanded session offering included a wider variety of topics and speakers. Some highlights of the event included:
- Keynote session by Conrad Mandela VP for SAP SME in North America
- Keynote session by Andreas Wolfinger Head of Business One Development Worldwide
- Business One Mobility Shootout – demonstrations of the Mobile device capabilities for B1
- Technical sessions on Crystal Dashboard Design, Business One Integration Framework and B1 Mobility setup by Eddie Neveux and Dan Love from SAP
- What’s new and What’s coming in SAP B1 sessions by Leah Divir, Idit Fydman-Saguey and Andreas Wolfinger from SAP
- Customer Experience Sessions such as the one led by Shawna DeBoer of Durks Farm Service
In addition to these great educational sessions, there were a number of Solution Provider sessions on industry specific topics or general business topics such as I-BN’s session “What Is the Cloud and When Should I Use It? Solution providers also hosted several evening receptions and the Solution Fair where over 50 companies were able to demonstrate their products and services. Several solution partners also sponsored a golf outing and nature hike. Thanks to the generous sponsorship the entire event was FREE and a good time and tremendous learning was had by all!
I-Business Network is a member of ASUG and a sponsor of the Business One Summit. I-BN also provided the technical infrastructure for the hands on training.
