Internationally the largest independent SAP (News - Alert) professionals community, The Americas' SAP Users' Group (ASUG) recently made an announcement on its intention to offer free admission to ASUG Community Focus 2011 that will be held at the Hilton Anaheim in Anaheim, California. This event is scheduled to be held between November 15 and 16.

In a release, Bridgette Chambers, ASUG CEO, said, "SAP users look for ways to get ideas, insights, and information specifically tailored to their business needs and demands. ASUG Community Focus meets that need with content designed for the issues and conditions facing the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), and Supply Chain Management (SCM) communities.”

This unique first-time effort by ASUG has been possible due to unprecedented sponsorship that has allowed the organization to work on its transformational as well cost-containment initiatives successfully.
