A colleague to me (Kristofer Liljeblad) has described the job like <A class="" title="Kristofer Liljeblad" href="http://blogs.msdn.com/kristol/archive/2008/09/07/application-development-consultant.aspx" target=_blank mce_href="http://blogs.msdn.com/kristol/archive/2008/09/07/application-development-consultant.aspx">this</A>.</P>
<P>I agree with Kristofer that it isn't easy to describe what actually an ADC does, but i would like to summarize it to "<STRONG>Help our customers to be more productive by our experience</STRONG>". </P>
<P>My absolute drive is to help our customers and make their work easier and more productive. I love technology and i love seeing my customers happy so hopefully that is an great combination for an ADC.</P>
<P>By using this blog i will not only give the ADC point of view in my articles i will also try to share many good tips and tricks too all of you that aren't my customer yet!</P>
