Last week, I was at the International User Group meeting in Berlin. It was great to meet so many (ARIS) users, and many of them are also member of ARIS Community of course! If you missed the event, make sure to take a look at Sebastian's coverage of the ARIS User Group meeting.

In the afternoon, several customer presentations take place to foster knowledge exchange between the participants. As I have to leave early, I will only cover this presentation by Bjørn Storø of Statoil from Norway. Statoil is a company of 20,000 employees in 34 countries working in the oil and gas production. They operate 80% of all oil and gas production in Norway with many off-shore facilities. Their main business drivers are

Now comes one of my favorite topics: our online communities. Gerd Schneider presents the various channels we offer so that you can directly interact with our experts. Get a first overview by visiting the Social Media Center. Gerd first provides a short overview of ARIS Community. Many people in the room already know it :-) Afterwards, he shows the other communities for Adabas, Natural, webMethods, and CentraSite.

Dr. Dominik Vanderhaeghen now presents how unified process intelligence can help us to run our business not on Trial & Error. Instead, we want to be able to learn from what we are doing so that we don’t repeat the same errors over again.

Before we go to the next session, I want to share a picture of the conference location. Berlin has many nice places, but I think this part at the Spree river is especially lovely. In the back, you can see the ABION hotel, where we are located.

Now, Dr. Helge Hess of Software AG gives an overview of the current ARIS roadmap and how this roadmap can be influenced by the members of the International ARIS User Group. So all participants are invited to report on their current projects and also what they aim at in the future so that ARIS can best support them. Helge touches major topics currently on focus in terms of ARIS roadmap. Current important trends like cloud computing, mobile, and social networking also influence how ARIS will look like in the near future.

I have created a post ( Part 5.0) which contains the list of major documents that are necessary to run an ARIS Competency Center but this can be applied to any major competency center. When you are buying a tool or creating a competency center - it is a method to secure the knowledge so that if any particular employee leaves the company then the tool does not become useless. The idea is that knowledge can be inherited organically without elaborate KT etc.
