This is my site for fun and work. I am Sander, a software architect.
Centrical is my playground. Blogs, news and resources are updated regularly.
My articles are published on Infoworld, AutomatiseringsGids and Emerce, too.
I gather worldwide news, whether it is about e-commerce or service oriented architectures.
My resume, the Web Unified Process and the general conditions are offered in several formats.
Some more information about me is shown here, like a resume, professional history and more.
Things I do are audits, architecture design and strategic advice.
Read the cases of customers like Akzo Nobel, Sanoma Publishers and VNU.

Stuff that happens to me sometimes inspires me to write. It may be nonsense, though.
WUP (Web Unified Process) is a lightweight and agile development method for web projects.
This where I keep technical posts that might come in handy.

Architectures
So, at work I am the guy who draws shapes with mysterious blocks and lines that other people eventually try to convert to software. Furthermore, I tend to have an opinion on almost anything. Don't ask why, but they call me Ming the Merciless here.
It's a little more than just software. I operate at the boundaries of software design and business. I bug everybody.

IT strategy
- Should my company expose its APIs, or should we wait?
- How do I crank up the numbers of my software distribution?
- I have a legacy system that doesn't communicate with our web front end, but I still like it; is it possible to change it without throwing it away?
- Should we deploy a uniform IT infrastructure, or could we combine products on different platforms just as easy?

Agile methodology
To establish a rhythm in development, that will keep the project members on track even when the going gets tough, a development method can be used. I like agile methodologies like XP, SCRUM and WUP.
Implementing a new methodology hurts, but is also very rewarding. I have seen teams up their speed enormously by doing so. And it's a hobby, too.
