The objective of a SIG is to advance member's knowledge
regarding a specific area of interest.
The Chapter encourages the formation of SIGs and if you have any
thoughts in this direction please contact the SIG Co-ordinator:
John Hunter jhunter#hlbdc.com
The scope of the SIG will be determined by the subject
and members will be asked to submit topics for discussion. Subjects will
be selected following the identification of risk & impact and
additionally areas were significant developments are expected in the
near future. As an example, the Network SIG meet five times per annum
with presenters generally being from specialist companies, although
additionally group members also gave presentations. Other SIGs have been
based on an interactive group discussion basis.
The main deliverable is to contribute to member's
development, this will be achieved by the following means: -
- Presentations on subjects suggested by members.
- Exchange of ideas following presentations and seeking advice &
information from group members at other times.
- Articles in Datawatch.
- Production of audit guidelines / checklists.
- Publish presentations on Chapter web site.
The formation of a new SIGs is always carefully considered and a
recent member suggestion for a SAP R3 SIG was not successful because of
the number of quality groups already in existence outside the Chapter.
Of course a SIG does not run itself and at a minimum a chairman is
required for all the associated organization and administration. The
main objectives of a SIG Chairman are: -
