BIO
Mark Waidelich is a Practice Manager with Entex Information
Services, a national integrator focusing on technology infrastructures. Mark has served in the IT and
computer related fields for nearly twenty years in successively progressive positions including:
process engineering and the integration of statistical process control via computer integrated
manufacturing for the production of IC's (e.g. CPU's), Software Developer, Systems Consultant, IT
Technology Manager, and Managing Consultant.
ADOPTING A SOLUTIONS FRAMEWORK FOR TECHNOLOGY
In today's complex world of information systems, a defined process and team approach for
infrastructure deployment projects is imperative. Such an approach helps ensure that infrastructure
implementations are consistent with business objectives, and can be effectively utilized once the
technology has been deployed. A defined process also serves as a road map so that important aspects of
a project will not be overlooked.
Adopting a Solutions Framework provides a deliberate approach to ensuring the integration of
technology and business. A solutions framework is a comprehensive approach including process and team
models to supplement existing methodologies a client may already have in practice. It also
incorporates a set of industry-founded best practices to yield a framework that improves the
efficiency and effectiveness of infrastructure deployment projects, and that maximizes the business
value realized after the completion of these projects.
