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.

SAML 2.0

"OASIS approved version 2.0 of the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) as a standard, providing guidelines for developers to create single sign-on applications that work across disparate locations on the Internet."

SOA without registry

Without a registry to track services and their inter-relationships, an SOA environment not only lacks coherence and control, it invites chaos.

Risks of running SOA without registry

Googlefight

"For those of you wondering how .NET is doing compared to Java: have a look at how much information Google has on the subjects."
