What I do
Really, it can be summed up with one word; change.
Over the past decade and a half, I’ve gained experience of most types of change that can happen in a Business Intelligence. Specifically:
- Migrating a database from one platform to another
- Migrating a reporting front end from one platform to another
- Migrating both at the same type
- Implementing a new physical schema (DB)
- Implementing a new logical schema (MicroStrategy)
- Rationalising a long-standing reporting environment
- Implementing a greenfield BI system, from initial user engagement to supporting the business after go-live
- Working with development teams, both small and large, to optimise their development process
- Extensive customisation using MicroStrategy’s SDK, bending the product to fit unusual requirements
- Mentoring and advising developers, both from a technical perspective, and how to engage with the business
