Return to Christo van Rensburg's Homepage.

I understand that you want results, not technical jargon. I will focus on business issues and listen to you, your business users, and your clients. I will try to understand their needs, and offer a definable solution. And I will deliver services in a competent, ethical and professional way.

Often, many clients have specific practical problems that they want me to help solve. E.g.:

  • New product or business development requires enhancements to current models and structures
  • Company or product takeovers resulted in silo applications and databases and effivient solutions are needed
  • Current data models are out of date and standards for new modelling techniques are lacking - best practices and standards need to be implemented
  • Databases and/or XML Schema were designed by developers, resulting in data inefficiencies, lack of data integrity, and low performance - database refactoring is often required
  • Data quality is a problem - data ownership, security and privacy need to be addressed and a data stewardship program is needed
  • Data strategy is an issue, business value of data has been overlooked and business intelligence is not reliable
  • Business rules and metadata have not been captured, or the documentation is not up to date

    Apart from providing solutions to the problems above, I can make contributions in the following areas, amongst others:

  • Data architecture and systems business analysis
  • Design of Internet-based distributed applications with database backends
  • Data analysis, data modeling, and database and data warehouse design
  • Advice on enterprise architecture and technical strategies
  • Advice on package selection,and assistance with integration
  • Technical leadership and development process improvement

    What?
    Web-application design is about more than online brochures. With my strong information technology experience, I will design useable online functionality and the information systems that your business or organization needs now, but always with reference to maximizing quality and client focus. Additionally I can offer the advice and leadership skills to make it happen.

    How?
    I am accustomed to using proven tools and modern techniques to design solid, reliable systems which will meet your and other users' needs and expectations. The systems will minimize your support and maintenance costs by being technically robust yet also flexible.

    Who?
    I have worked with small to large organizations in the public and the private sectors, including enterprise-wide projects in the education, finance, healthcare, mining, primary producer, public service, software vendors, transport, and utility industries. I have a particular interest in Health IT, Life Sciences IT and Green IT.

    Where?
    I am based in Sydney, NSW, but can easily travel to Canberra, Melbourne or further afield (including regional and rural areas).

    When?
    My management experience will ensure that timelines, as well as scope and budget, are kept in balance. I can take responsibility for a whole project, or part thereof.

    Why?
    For better results, choose me to apply my considerable skills and experience to your problem space.

    Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
