| Maintech's strategic business development plan takes into consideration a three-layer IT Infrastructure model that is gaining wide acceptance in the marketplace. Each layer drives a different element of the client and service vendor organizations to tightly focus on its respective core competencies and, ultimately, deliver better shareholder value. The top layer, Business Process Development, and the second layer, Applications Development and Support, remain the traditional focus of the client's line operations and IT organizations. The third layer, IT Infrastructure, is increasingly seen as a set of industry standard desktop and server products, and voice and data network schemes, to be purchased and supported as an integrated solution. This layer of services include a broad spectrum of design, procurement, project management and maintenance services that are expensive for the client to build, deliver and sustain, especially with scarce IT dollars available.
