The SAP Australian User Group (SAUG) has launched a CIO Council which it says will provide a forum for CIOs to network, knowledge share and be a “collective voice for CIOs in communicating with SAP.”
SAUG Chairperson, Grahame Reynolds, said the SAUG CIO Council was an initiative to deepen knowledge sharing and networking opportunities for CIOs and “will serve as a forum for driving direct feedback to SAP on issues of key importance to the SAP customer base.”
Reynolds said SAP is supporting the CIO Council and will be actively involved at an executive level, with the council “driving thought leadership within the SAP ecosystem, provide SAUG members a channel for global and local influence on SAP product and policy and bring global knowledge to local CIOs.”
The CIO Council is open for membership to all C-level, Vice President or Director level executives at SAUG member companies, and the new body will be guided by a Steering Committee of volunteer CIOs, comprised of Owen Coppage, CIO and Group General Manager, Customer Operations, AGL; David Bough, CIO, National Foods; Dennis Lewis, CIO, 7-Eleven Stores Pty Ltd, Sharron Kennedy, CIO, Energy Australia, and Olaf Pietschner, CIO, Origin Energy.
John Dousset, SAUG Committee Member and Principal Application Architect at Australia Post, has been appointed as the council’s SAUG Liaison.
Reynolds said the first Council meeting will be held on 17 March in Brisbane, with speakers presenting on cloud computing at the inaugural meeting including Mark Edward Ross, CIO, SunLife Financial Group and Mike Foster, Group Executive Director of Sales & Business Development, Fujitsu and Mark Hettler, Director of Field Services, SAP ANZ will talk about enterprise support and the re-introduction of standard support.
The SAUG CIO Council will hold an additional two formal meetings in 2010, in August in Sydney and in October in Melbourne. SAUG members can apply for Council membership on the SAUG website.
