// Detailed CV
In my entire career IT has always played a large role. Either to improve business processes with a business-customized workflow system or to consolidate customer data and information at one single point of truth with an own developed CRM system, followed by 5+ years in pure SAP environments, mainly Business Intelligence (BW, BO, SAP Cloud). All those improvements have been done to increase the productivity, provide a better user experience and analyse the data even faster and more target-oriented.
This all together has given me a wide understanding of IT, several landscapes, sources and environments, how data models should be built, KPI libraries which are easy to extend, different business use cases and requirements, how projects should be done and how to integrate and handle different interests and parties.
It also turned out to be very beneficial that I have always kept in touch with the state of the art software versions and get my hands on.
That is why I am passionate about IT and love to solve customer problems!

Implementation EDW (Enterprise Data Warehouse)
RoleConsultant
DescriptionThe existing BW should been replaced in a green field approach, following LSA. The core of this EDW is the central KPI library and each KPI is system-wide unique. Even the most common report is month-bases, to provide accurate data the smallest common ground has to day. Furthermore the start date and end date of a contract can be at every day in a month. It makes a profit calculation harder and benefits from this detailed daily split.
