It provides the opportunity for a free exchange about different issues and hot topics that our members are struggling with: albeit governance, organizational aspects or technology (RIM / ECM solutions).

The child is born! ... and in a very successful way.
More than 50 participants attended the inaugural event of the Swiss Chapter of ARMA in Basel on Nov 29th.
The event had two parts: Foundation assembly and a professional conference sponsored by Oracle.
(see: http://jhagmann.twoday.net/files/Basel-ARMA/)

In the pre-conference, the general assembly (23 members) approved unanimously the bylaws, the constitution of the board (president, vice-president, treasurer) incl. 2 auditors and also voted yes to a separate membership fee for the Swiss chapter in addition to the mandatory fees for ARMA International.
Gavin Siggers, director of ARMA Europe brought a warm welcome and encouraged all present members to volunteer for future activities. ARMA Europe had strongly supported and endorsed the foundation of this first official chapter in Europe. UK will hopefully follow next.
The assembly could also welcome the vice-president of the Association of Swiss Archivists (ASA), Gregor Egloff. ARMA Switzerland has prepared a Declaration_ARMA-ASA (pdf, 40 KB)with the ASA to coordinate events and gain synergies within the records management community in Switzerland.
For 2012 we have planned 3 events:
- 23rd March - Meeting hosted by a member
- Joint Meeting with ASA / working group records mgmt in June
- 9th Nov, Annual Assembly and Conference
Since last September ARMA Switzerland has gained at least 8 new members.

After the assembly the conference part started with a short presentation of the Oracle RM solution (URM) by Peter Gobonya, account manager ECM Switzerland.
The keynote was held by Chris Walker (Oracle) about the myth of unstructered information
(see his blog)
The second presentation was given by Uli Zipfel, RM Program Manager at Roche about their approach to manage unstructured content throughout the lifecycle (office, mail and sharepoint).
The presentations will be loaded on the ARMA Europe site as soon as available - http://europe.arma.org/
