The Spanish SAP user group AUSAPE marked its 15th anniversary at its recent Forum GT 2009 in Valencia. It was a time to celebrate – but also a time to intensify international cooperation and interactive exchange.

Of all years, the one in which the Spanish user group is celebrating its 15th anniversary is proving to be tough. According to AUSAPE President José Juan Novas, the crisis has hit Spain hard. He urged AUSAPE members to become active and exchange ideas and best practices, stressing that this was especially important in the current climate.

And the 450 Forum GT 2009 visitors did just that. The event was originally set up as a meeting of work groups. Now in its fifth year, it has since become a regular fixture in the calendar of Spanish IT experts. The forum enables them to gain first-hand information about the SAP platform and partner solutions. IT experts can also discuss upcoming projects with colleagues.
Soaking up information, networking
The two-day event (May 21-22) was crammed with information. In addition to the keynotes, there were around 30 partner presentations. Different work groups gathered to learn more about topics such as SOA, BI, and HR management. After an agreement with the Professional Association of Purchasing, Contracting and Procurement in Spain (AERCE), a new work group was formed for purchasing experts. Data protection in Spain was also on everybody’s lips, especially with regard to what companies need to do to comply with the Spanish data protection law LOPD (Ley Orgánica de Protección de Datos de Carácter Personal).
SAP took the opportunity to introduce SAP BusinessObjects Explorer. This new BI software easily filters and analyzes selected business data from IT systems. An intelligent search and analysis tool, SAP BusinessObjects Explorer combs through billions of data records in less than a second. Its intuitive interface, which looks similar to Google Earth, is a further advantage for users.
