The SAP Australian User Group (SAUG) has launched a CIO Council to provide a forum for CIOs to network, knowledge share and be a collective voice for CIOs in communicating with SAP.

The SAUG CIO Council will drive 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.  The Council will be guided by a Steering Committee of volunteer CIOs including 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, will serve as the SAUG Liaison.

 “The SAUG CIO Council is an initiative to deepen knowledge sharing and networking opportunities for CIOs. It will serve as a forum for driving direct feedback to SAP on issues of key importance to the SAP customer base,” said Grahame Reynolds, SAUG Chairperson.
