This past Friday Fairfax Water hosted an ASUG Mid-Atlantic Chapter meeting.  First I want to thank Gwendolyn Glasner, who set up the meeting, Lauren Milligan, who executed the meeting, Atul Patankar, our ASUG Volunteer who introduced the meeting and all of our speakers:

After introductions, Jason from smartShift presented:

Clean core is a popular topic this year so interest was high. 

Next, for the first time I can recall, we had ASUG's Patty Brown present at our meeting about the value of ASUG.

Patty reviewed the ASUG member benefits.  She leads the editorial team, producing ASUG First Five.

Patty thanked the volunteers at the meeting.  She was very upbeat and supportive.

Next, the great  Kristen Scheffler presented "You Paid for it, so Let's Use it". 

Kristen covered several areas regarding SAP Support and many attendees told me they were looking forward to her slides.

I've used these options (try chat first, then if it's too long of a wait, I will call CIC).

I didn't know about this, so I will have to try it out later:

Kristen provided an update on SolMan, a product I've used for years.  Many of us will need to decide what to do after SolMan 7.2.

Lastly, Alex from Navisite provided a great session about migrating to S/4HANA
