I am an independent ICT architect/consultant with over 15 years of experience in the ICT industry. My main focus is on the implementation/technical side: A customer knows what is needed for the business, but often doesn't know how. As an architect I design the necessary technical components, including vendor and/or product selection. After this I accompany the implementation as a project manager, ICT architect and sometimes even as a part-time implementer/programmer. The last three years I have been working in the educational publishing industry, helping them to automate their business processes with XML related technologies. With this, my current focus is on XML: Producing, editing, storing, maintaining and processing it.
