When I was thinking about some next post I somehow had the impression that a decision must be taken whether I want to write more for technical focused guys or a little more for the management focused people.
The final result is that I think it is one of my specialities that I do have the technical background and knowledge but I do want to see the final purpose. For the final purpose you need overview and this is also what management needs.
Although I am trying to improve productivity by using helpful software I do also know that sometimes pen and paper is simply the better choice. I look at the actual practical need.
So this blog will continue to address both type of readers somehow and I think especially nowadays often there is a gap (or rather a canyon) between that management and the technical or practical solutions. Both often do not well understand each other and therefore often management takes decisions that cannot really be implemented in a way that still makes sense.
I will try to fill this gap a little.

About this Blog
I think there are more blogs about IT topics than about anything else.
So why the hell should I create another one?
The reason is: The field of IT has grown so big that it is often hard to decide which hardware to buy, which software to install, which websites or web applications are better and how to invest best into IT infrastructure. There are a lot of hypes causing people investing in technologies that get completely outdated only a few years later. I do want to assist at this point offering help in your IT decisions and apart from that give a few very concrete more technical oriented help (on how to tweak your computer or some programming code example).
Because of the fast change in IT there are frequently news talking about new technologies. From my point of view they are often not so new - just older ideas in new clothes. Other technologies might be really new and one year later nobody talks about them any more.
The focus of this blog are long-term considerations about IT strategies - this means that I will not hop on every new hype. At this blog new technologies are considered more from the critical point of view. But this also means: If I do recommend something, that recommendation has undergone a longer evaluation and/or testing phase.
Although there will not be a big focus on hardware, I will post from time to time some tip - again most likely if I see long-term relevance.
Sure, I cannot know the future - and my expectations might not become real - we will see...

About Me
For an abstract of my work and interests see my profile.
You can contact me writing e-mail to mwildam[at]gmx.at.
I was about 8 or 9 years old when my father brought home a computer for work and he sat a lot in front of it to get some things done. - I got interested in it and asked what he is doing. He explained me a little and he implemented some programs for me to improve my maths.
I remember a program where a figure was going up on step on a stairway for each computation I calculated correctly and it went down two when I did wrong. Maybe I got frustrated by this figure and wanted to change the program or maybe there were other reasons that my father began teaching me how to program. However, it brought me to my profession...
When I went to a more specialized school with the focus on IT and Organization I wanted to get a computer specialist. Nowadays I know very well that the IT branch of business is so large that one can impossibly cover everything.
As with the time the branch grows faster than one can learn all the related stuff, IT students as well as IT professionals already working in place do have to make decisions. I focused on software development. During my work my daily job is not only Software development but also support, analysis, project management and consulting - all those roles in and around the DMS and ECM area.
