Dear Reader,

We proudly present our first issue of the ACSU newsletter, which aims at informing you about news and topics interesting for SAP users and developers. This newsletter is a convenient way to stay informed about SAP developments, news and the SAP community in China as well as to read interesting articles and tips. We are going to send a newsletter every two month or even more often from now on.

As the ACSU is an organization from SAP users for SAP users we are currently looking for suggestions regarding the improvement of our work. Therefore we are encouraging our readers to share their knowledge and submit articles or topics they think are interesting to SAP users in China.

This issue includes the survey results of the last SIG Automotive meeting, internal and external news and much more.
