ASUG 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 1

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

In racing, whether it’s cycling, cars, or even running, there’s a basic principal known as drafting. When closely aligned, those behind the leader—and even the leader himself—use less energy to maintain a higher speed. Together, the group can accelerate to speeds they may never have been capable of alone.

Right now, moving fast enough to close the gap between our systems of today, and the systems of tomorrow that SAP is showing us, is paramount. It’s also difficult.

And it’s for this reason that being aligned with ASUG is more important now than ever before for SAP customers.

The company at which I work as CTO and Chief Information Security Officer has been an ASUG member for a long time. In fact, DuPont was one of the founding ASUG members more than 20 years ago.

In short, DuPont is a big SAP customer. We enjoy a lot of access to SAP. But even we are sometimes challenged in adopting new products as fast as SAP

is introducing them.

This is where ASUG comes in for companies big and small. As members of ASUG, we contribute to the ideas and experiences of thousands of other customers. Together, we build the links between our core of stable business applications and then to SAP’s cloud, mobility, analytics, and SAP HANA products.

ASUG’s value proposition is our real experience—it’s something that, as chairman, I’ve taken to heart. Many of you have likely heard me say this before: ASUG provides real advantage and real results for our members. We know what really happens during implementations because we’ve implemented it. We know what to watch out for because we’ve seen it. And we know where the real wins can be found because we’ve already found them.

It gives me deep pride each day to be counted as one of the thousands of companies who, together, have figured out most of the answers, and then shared that insight and intuition—honed through occasionally trying experiences—to others in our community.

That dual sense of purpose at ASUG was just as vibrant in 2013 as it was in 2001 when I first joined.

Together, we will make sure that ASUG continues to be the place to be, the place that delivers results to our businesses, and the key driving force in the SAP ecosystem.

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Today, the technology landscape is evolving rapidly. Concepts such as mobile, cloud, and big data were new frontiers 10 years ago. Now they are commonplace. Moore’s Law isn’t just about hardware; its precepts are impacting corporate technology departments and corporations as a whole. The pressure to not only meet, but exceed customer expectations, is intense and palpable. Technology simply must deliver more intuitive, simple, and innovative solutions through new delivery channels, faster than ever before.

But with that type of pressure come new ideas, and with new ideas comes new opportunity. ASUG went through organizational change in 2013. And we have come out of that experience with renewed passion, new ideas, new opportunities, and an even stronger foundation.

All of my experiences as ASUG’s CEO so far have reinforced one reality for me: This is

an unbelievably exciting time to be the leader of North America’s

community of SAP professionals.

As a community, we have immense potential to help each other do our jobs better and achieve our goals. We can drive business transformation. We can help build companies that will adapt and respond to any future challenges. Quite simply, we can leverage technology

to make this world we are passing through a better place for us, our children, and future generations.

We, in many ways, are responsible for ushering in a new era for business technology. SAP, as we all know, is changing as well. And we need to be there step by step.

There’s no other group who can do it like we can. Our community has always set the standard for success with SAP. We are the paragon of the passionate SAP community. And this past year, we continued to build on that standard, as you will read in this report.

The vision of the ASUG Board and every ASUG employee, volunteer, member, and affiliate is to build the very best community that embodies networking, education, and influence.

The ASUG team and I are absolutely committed to making ASUG a truly significant resource for your professional growth and your company’s continued investment in SAP technologies.

I welcome you to become even more invested in this journey. If you are a volunteer today, I wholeheartedly thank you for your commitment and contribution. If you have been thinking about getting more engaged, stop thinking and make that first step. Our community is only as strong as each of our commitments to invest and give back.

A FINGER ON THE PULSE OF SAP

ASUGNews.com In 2013, ASUGNews.com launched an ambitious site redesign with an emphasis on highlighting our collection of more than 100 ASUG member and SAP customer stories, in articles and on video. New website categories include SAP In-Depth (with a focus on practical customer profiles and analysis of SAP’s core product strategies) and Tech It Out (where our bloggers scrutinize the enterprise technology space). We debuted a weekly newsletter—the Weekly SAP Wrap-Up—that delivers all the best SAP and ASUG news, opinion, and insight every Friday (be sure to sign up via ASUGNews.com).

ASUG News is also the vehicle by which our members can read up on the reports from ASUG Research Services, our new member-survey program that launched in 2013 and experienced tremendous success with our debut report on SAP Cloud Integration.

PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING YEAR ROUND

Collaboration without Boundaries

ASUG Social Media

The momentum we gained in 2012 continued in 2013: On Twitter, for instance, we grew the

number of followers by nearly 100 percent from 2012. The @ASUG365 handle has become an

excellent way to promote events and key contacts in the SAP ecosystem, as well as a trusted

mechanism to pass along critical information efficiently to the community—increased use of

ASUG-related hashtags at Annual Conference in 2013 solidified Twitter’s importance for the

ASUG network.

ASUG’s LinkedIn group increased membership by 34 percent, and it continues to be a key place

where members can share content and discuss the hottest SAP topics. On our ASUGtv page

on YouTube, we added more than 50 new customer-focused and SAP-centric interviews to our

growing video collection.

ASUG.COM A 24/7/365 Resource The ASUG.com website is where education, influence, and networking came together for our membership in 2013. It serves as a hub for online Special Interest Group (SIG) communities to connect across technologies, business processes, and industries; a vast library of actionable content derived from real-world experience; a resource for professional development; a portal to events in the SAP ecosystem; and an independent news source of everything SAP. The Discussions collaboration platform on the website allows members to find answers to their questions, share lessons learned and best practices, conduct polls, and blog their insights and ideas.

STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP DIRECTION

Leading the Way “There was so much free flowing information at the Executive Exchange Fall Summit, and so much interaction. And that is where you get the value: the more you participate, the more you get out of it. It’s very intense. I’ve never experienced anything like that in any conference I’ve been to.” –Brian Hobdy, CFO, PABCO Building Products, LLC

ASUG Executive Exchange C-level members met throughout the year to engage in candid dialogues with peers and influence SAP from a strategic perspective.

They attended three successful events in 2013—at SAP’s offices in Palo Alto, at ASUG Annual Conference and SAPPHIRE NOW, and during the ASUG SAP BusinessObjects User Conference. Critical business and technology topics included strategies for creating a profit-centric culture and managing mergers and acquisitions, as well as strategic approaches to SAP HANA, analytics, and mobility.

Leadership 2.0From team building, to team performance and inclusivity, to strategic thinking and execution, the ASUG Leadership 2.0 program provides the resources to shape leaders.

It was another banner year for ASUG Leadership 2.0, the curriculum-based program that empowers ASUG members to apply communication and leadership skills to expand their professional development. The program consists of communication strategies and leadership essentials delivered through Communication Workshops and the Change Management Roadshow.

Independent Auditor’s Report



To the Board of Directors ofAmericas’ SAP Users’ GroupChicago, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of AMERICAS’ SAP USERS’ GROUP, which comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of activities and changes in net assets, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

OpinionIn our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Americas’ SAP Users’ Group as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements1. Significant Accounting PoliciesNature of Activities - Americas’ SAP Users’ Group (the Group) was organized to advance the effective utilization of computer software developed and marketed by SAP by promoting the exchange of ideas and information of mutual interest and value, to provide a forum for mutual education and exchange of ideas and information among members, and promote sound and professional SAP systems usage and best practices. In addition, the Group was also organized to influence the direction of development activities, products, policies, and services of SAP and related vendors in the interest of all members to meet user requirements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Group considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents, unless they are held in brokerage accounts.

Investments - Investments are stated at fair value.

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Group has determined that the future benefits likely to be realized from deferring recognition of the cost of personal services relating to future activities cannot be reasonably estimated. Consequently, all personal service costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Accounts Receivable - The Group considers all accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful amounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to the change in net assets when that determination is made.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue - Membership dues are recognized as revenue over the applicable membership period. Conference and events revenue and expenses are recognized during the period in which the conference is held. Deferred revenue consists of amounts received in the current period which relate to future periods.

Income Taxes - The Group accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred taxes are measured using enacted tax laws and rates expected to be recovered or settled. The Group recognizes the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Group is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before the 2010 tax year. 2. Future MeetingsThe Group has entered into contracts for services and accommodations for future meetings. These contracts include penalty clauses, which would require the Group to pay certain amounts if a meeting was to be canceled or they do not meet their room block guarantees.

3. Concentrations of Credit Risk Arising from Cash Deposits in Excess of Insured LimitsThe Group maintains cash balances on deposit at banks that at times exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured limits.

4. Property and EquipmentA summary of property and equipment and accumulated depreciation and amortization at December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

DECEMBER 31 2013 2012

Computer equipment $241,744 $ 213,187

Computer software 332,733 332,733

Notes to Financial Statements5. InvestmentsInvestments are summarized as follows at December 31, 2013:

Investments are summarized as follows at December 31, 2012:

6. Income TaxesThe Group is taxed on its investment income and on any net income attributable to its operating activities. Any losses generated by its operating activities are carried forward to succeeding years.

The Group has a loss carryforward from its operating activities of approximately $1,500,000 as of December 31, 2013. In addition, the Group has a capital loss carryforward of approximately $294,000 as of December 31, 2013, and has utilized capital loss carryforwards of approximately $383,000 during 2013. As of December 31, 2012, the Group had a capital loss carryforward of approximately $683,000 after utilizing $175,000 to offset capital gains realized during 2012. No deferred tax asset pertaining to the operating loss and capital loss carryforwards has been recognized because of the uncertainty of future utilization of the carryforwards.

The current provision for income taxes was $27,613 and $487,462 for 2013 and 2012, respectively. 7. Fair Value MeasurementsGenerally accepted accounting principles provide a uniform framework for the definition, measurement, and disclosure of fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Such accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The asset’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices for identical assets, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using matrix pricing modes, or other model-based valuation techniques requiring observable inputs other than quoted prices

VOLUNTEERS

The 400-plus volunteers who are at the core of ASUG continued to drive education, influence, and networking for the benefit of members. These individuals channeled the collective voice of the ASUG membership to SAP. They dedicated themselves to the creation of content and its delivery year round – at chapter meetings, via online webcasts, in discussion forums on the website, and for flagship events. They connected professionals across the SAP ecosystem. They define community service. We could not have achieved what we did in 2013 without them.

David Wascom is Vice President of Information Technologies and Chief Information Officer for Summit Electric Supply (summit.com), one of the nation’s top 25 electrical distributors.

Summit, founded in 1977, is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and employs 500 associates in 19 markets across four states, as well as in international operations.

It was the company’s growth from 2002-2007 that led Summit to consider SAP as its ERP system. Summit doubled in size with the acquisition of another distributor in 2002 that Wascom was working for. His sales and operations experience included progressively more responsible positions, including automation products manager and service center leader in New Orleans.

In 2006, Wascom was appointed to his current position to lead Summit’s SAP implementation project. He and Summit’s team of 20 in-house IT professionals not only accomplished the enterprise-wide implementation, but customized many SAP functions to specifically meet Summit’s unique business needs as a wholesale distributor. He was named Chief Information Officer in 2007, and his experience led him to become an active member of the Americas’ SAP Users’ Group.

In 2010, ASUG recognized Wascom with its Volunteer Service Award for his service as chair of the Wholesale Distribution Special Interest Group (SIG). ASUG also recognized Summit’s overall SAP efforts, led by Mr. Wascom, with its Impact Award.

In his current role, Wascom continues to oversee Summit’s information technology operations and is responsible for continuous business process improvements using SAP.

Wascom holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and an MBA from Louisiana Tech University, as well as a Master of Science in economics from Louisiana State University.
