Ronald Damhof’s Summary

Senior Architect in information management, focus on (Enterprise) Data Management and it's place in an Enterprise Architecture. To be honest-I am a bit of a freak when it comes to this field of expertise. I love the dynamic thats going on at the moment, many interesting developments, discussions, trends. It just proves that there is a huge need for an Intelligent Enterprise that is capable of (re)-using its greatest treasure in an efficient and effective manner..information.

I am not a 'white paper' architect..put your money where your mouth is, is my motto. I like to see architectures 'live' in enterprises, not just write about it. In most organisations my role extends architecture often. I need to be a missionary (selling the value of an information architecture), a project manager (getting it done) and a specialist (educating hardware peeps, data architects, data logistics peeps etc.). But thats the beauty of the trade...

Over 12 years of experience in the field. At the moment at various (international) customers.

Workting atm as/for:
- Regie Architect Business Intelligence within the Tax Authority (last 1.5 year I was the ICT Architect DWH/BI within the Tax Authority).

- Advising various companies (parttime) on their data management strategy & architecture
