MetaCentric Technology Advising will help your organization evaluate whether or not technology is really facilitating your mission. Through visioning, evaluation and training, your organization will be empowered to make appropriate technology decisions, and to look at the ways your use of technology fits into the bigger picture of the community and our planet. If you enter into a process of software or service selection, I can help you evaluate the options based on a wider variety of criteria than is traditional, and facilitate discussions with vendors. If your technology implementation has hit a snag, I can help you navigate your way through the snags, and mediate with vendors, if that's necessary. If you've thought of using open source software, I can help you figure out whether and how to implement it.
