Reinforcing the vision of transforming organisations into intelligent enterprises, the newly-established Vietnam SAP User Group (VSUG) aims to drive co-innovation among solution users and customers within the community, as well as help maximise their investment in SAP technologies.
The German enterprise software giant has been at the forefront of offering sustainable, intelligent solutions to businesses and governments of all sizes across the globe. According to SAP, a notable increase has been seen in the number of SAP customers in Vietnam in the past few years. This is because the Vietnamese government has issued the National Digital Transformation Programme with the goal of becoming a digital nation by 2025, as well as having 100,000 digital technology enterprises.
In response to the growing number of customers seeking a network to assist them in fostering co-innovation, the Vietnam SAP User Group (VSUG) has been founded in the country as an avenue for exchanging relevant experiences that will help optimise their investments in SAP technologies and other IT solutions. Today, SAP has 47 user groups in various locations throughout the world, with VSUG being the newest to be formed. These user groups are backed by the Global User Groups organisation, which works as an independent, non-profit group focused on educating members while also facilitating engagement and shaping SAP’s strategy.
Nguyen Hong Viet, who has been appointed as the Managing Director of SAP Vietnam back in 2020, stated that SAP is firmly committed to helping its customers become a “best-run business.” Aside from supporting clients in their journey towards becoming an intelligent enterprise, the tech giant also delivers customer success as its highest purpose by capitalising on collaborations with the partner ecosystem. Moreover, Nguyen believes that Vietnam has now gotten to a point where all SAP customers could take advantage of an established community in the country.
“This is the opportune time to have the user group in Vietnam as users will be able to exchange information and ideas of mutual interest and value as well as share their best practices with industry peers, technology experts from SAP and our partners to fuel the full benefits of SAP software,” he explained.
Establishing the Vietnam SAP User Group (VSUG)
VSUG’s inaugural ceremony was held last month to build the SAP community in the country. The event also strengthens SAP’s commitment to supporting Vietnamese customers in understanding the real impact and linking the individuals that keep the business momentum forging ahead. Additionally, the conference was graced by founding members of VSUG who devoted their time to serving on the management board —- which governs the organisation and leads the user community.
According to Nguyen, SAP user groups play a crucial role in SAP software development by providing SAP with relevant user feedback in all functional and technical fields of interest, which may then be used to shape SAP’s product direction in the future. The SAP MD further shared:
“SAP Solution and Strategy Update session at Vietnam SAP User Group kickoff ceremony has been organised to set the cornerstone for customers’ success to Vietnam SAP user groups. We are renowned for our vast product, solution, and services portfolio across all industries and lines of businesses. These knowledge transfers for SAP User Groups offerings provide a big picture overview of SAP’s portfolio, diving into details as we go along and the latest information on roadmaps, technical and business updates.”
With skills-building, networking, and advancing business innovation and productivity in mind, the goal of VSUG is to equip members with the following benefits:
- Obtaining relevant information and education about SAP services, technologies, solutions, and products.
- Gaining access to a network with members across a wide range of industries within Vietnam and globally.
- Get support in creating a transformation roadmap that will help drive business growth.
- Shaping SAP’s future product development by delivering user feedback in all functional and technical fields of interest.
