America’s SAP User Group, ASUG, has announced its new president: Steven Strout, former CIO of Morris Communications. In addition to president, Strout will also take on the title of CEO to become the first full-time employee of the organization.

Rod Masney, who used to run the ASUG ship, worked with SearchSAP.com on numerous occasions, leaving a rich legacy behind. He will stay on the ASUG board and continue his efforts in keeping SAP and ASUG close.

We had the good fortune of sitting down with Strout at Sapphire 2007, and we’re looking forward to continuing our ASUG relationship in years ahead. Tune in later this week for news editor Jon Franke’s interview with Strout on what’s next for him, ASUG and SAP.
