About AHigherVision.net...

Service
The founder and at present sole purveyor information on this site is Arthur Fridrich. Arthur is currently the Director of Strategic Management Services within the Office of University Technology at Virgina State University. The intent of this site is to provide colleges and universities an information source that has either been nominal or missing for decision makers in Higher Education. That is to provide a single source of information about software companies that have a significant presence in Higher Education.

Organization
The conceptual framework for this site was born out of a project Mr. Fridrich was engaged in several years ago. During an IT Assessment at a University in the Mid-Atlantic area, Mr. Fridrich proposed a revamp of the the organization to present a more external facing look to IT. Prior to introducing this model, Mr. Fridrich sought out critical review of the concept from leaders at several prominent institutions, as well from other technology leaders. While the institution did not fully institute this model, they did embark on journey to incorporate elements of the design into their organization.

History
Arthur has worked in or industries supporting Higher Education since 1977. He has served as as Research Associate in Institutional Research at Cleveland State University, Assistant Registrar at Georgetown University, Director of Administrative Systems at Virginia State University, Director of Administrative Systems at Gannon University, Executive Director of Computing at Antioch University, and Assistant Vice-President of Information Technologies at the University of Maryland University College, as well as in consulting roles with over 70 other institutions. His original interests centered on Administrative Systems and ERPs, but has grown to encompass software serving all segments of the college and university community. This site is born from these experiences.
