Global Information Services (GIS) has a worldwide responsibility for all IT processes, solutions and services. The aim is to further enhance our client Global Functions by delivering common business driven solutions and services.
 
Within GIS, Global Solutions (GS) covers the management of business relationships and the design, development and implementation of common solutions by following a consistent and rigorous programme and project management methodology.
 
Within GS, the Centre of Excellence Business Enablement (CoE BE) is responsible for the technical standards and guidelines of cross-functional solutions like ERP, MDM and BI applications. Next to that, the CoE BE is managing a whole portfolio of projects and programs to develop new, implement, rollout and adapt the cross-functional solutions in cooperation with the related functional Centre of Excellence and the Operating Companies (OpCo’s).

The BI Functional Consultant (FC) reporting to a Centre of Excellence (CoE) Manager supports the designing, building and delivering of expertise and support to projects related to the Analytics domain. The majority of the time, the FC will be involved as solution architect in multiple analytics projects focussing on Operating Company (OpCo) specific solutions.

Within our client, Analytical Solutions are created on a central Analytics Platform. This central platform is based on SAP BW4HANA, SAP HANA Native, Hortonworks Hadoop, SAP Business Objects and Microsoft PowerBI. On the central platform, central programs create core data models. These core data models are made available to the OpCo’s via these programs. However, there is a need by the OpCo’s to have the ability to have the ability to customize the core models to match their local specific requirements as well as the ability to create additional data models not covered by the central programs. The Solution Architect needs to guide the OpCo development team in using the platform as well as how to interact with the core models. The Solution Architect will work with the local team designing the solutions, support in execution and running the solution. The Solution Architect will work with the other Solution Architects of the platform to maintain and develop new guidelines. Occasionally, the solution architect will be required to develop and demo Proof of Concepts.

The FC is responsible for the design and built of Analytics Solutions taking into account the lifecycle management of specific applications that are in scope of the Centre of Excellence and has a role in projects related to the implementation and changing of those solutions. The FC actively seeks for improvement opportunities in business processes and IT enablement.

Within any activity, the FC will need to manage; project-related items within the allocated tasks to his/her area of expertise in accordance with GIS project management standards. Within the area of expertise a FC may also be allocated and expected to manage project tasks on the assigned activities based on content, availability and project characteristics like scope, complexity and throughput time.

The BI Functional Consultant is expected to:

• Design new Analytical solutions and take the technical end-to-end responsibility during the implementation phase ensuring the solution will meet the technical and business requirements
• Understand the end-to-end service not just the technical or functional components and business impact from a user’s perspective
• Develop win-win, collaborative relations that add clear value to all internal and external stakeholders
• Understand and interpret financial information to ensure value driven decision are made and the impact to the organisation clearly articulated
• Actively embrace and promote change, especially from a business perspective
• Lead by example and actively engage and motivate individuals around them
