BI Platform 'Server Nerd'? SAP & ASUG want to hear from you!

[GoLaSalle]

ASUG's BI Platform Influence Council is accepting applications for interested members until July 18th.  Are you an ASUG Member and a self-proclaimed 'server nerd'?  Do you use/implement/architect BusinessObjects servers?  Then this is your chance to help shape improvements and features to the BI Platform.  OK, maybe you're thinking that this is just lip service from the vendor?  Not a chance.

SAP Mentor and ASUG Volunteer Greg Myers blogged about the success he had in the BI Platform Influence Council in 2011:

There is a presentation at the ASUG SAP BusinessObjects User Conference in Orlando, "User Influence Becomes an SAP Application: SAP BI4.1 System Configuration Wizard".  This session will talk about the collaboration between SAP and the Influence Council that brought about the creation of the System Configuration Wizard tool.

To cut to the chase- Influence works.  And if you work with the BI Platform at all, you owe it to yourself to at least fill out the survey and see if you're a fit for the next round of this important Influence Council.  Check out the links below and sign up.  The deadline is July 18, 2013.
