Americas' SAP Users' Group (ASUG), the world's largest independent community of SAP® professionals, today announced the continuation of its Strategy Builder Series with four webinars dedicated to the SAP HANA® platform. Advance registration is now open for the sessions, which will be held on four consecutive Wednesdays beginning Nov. 28.

The Strategy Builder Series is an enhancement to ASUG's Integrated Enterprise and Infinite ROI initiatives, launched in 2011. ASUG’s Integrated Enterprise and Infinite ROI initiatives are designed to help organizations of all sizes and types increase their returns by mastering the latest advancements in business technology software. The first set of webcasts was introduced in the spring of 2012 and was devoted to cloud computing, providing SAP professionals a roadmap to explore cloud deployment based on user insights and customer success stories. The SAP HANA-focused webcast series will address topics from getting started with the innovative in-memory technology, to how best to use the newly introduced cloud-based deployment model for SAP HANA to power innovative ideas.

“Considerable excitement surrounds SAP HANA and the tremendous potential to gain competitive advantage from the speed and efficiency of real-time analytics, but customers still have questions,” said ASUG CEO Bridgette Chambers. “The ASUG Strategy Builder Series for SAP HANA is designed to help SAP customers understand, evaluate, and navigate this new frontier and maximize ROI from SAP HANA.”

Each webcast will provide insights based on real-world examples and case studies, and include an interactive question-and-answer session to give participants the chance to connect with the experts.

The first webcast on SAP HANA, Learn How to Get the Advantages of In-Memory Computing Now, will begin at 12:00 p.m. ET on Nov. 28. SAP will provide a high level overview of the myriad of entry points to begin taking advantage of SAP HANA and lay out the key benefits for each. Three additional webcasts will be held in December:

• SAP HANA Cloud Deployment Overview - Dec. 5, 12:00 p.m. ET
• What Every SAP Customer Should Know About Real-Time Data Platform - Dec. 12, 12:00 p.m. ET
