I'm part of a TME Enterprise Architecture (EA) team called Business Intelligence Competence Center (BICC). Our mission is to set and maintain BI standards, best practices, governance, ... at the enterprise level. We must be able to understand the needs of project teams as well as end-users and support them on creating effective solutions. My activities at BICC:

• Define Data & BI standards and guidelines for TME and NMSCs (pan European affiliates companies);

• Understand the business requirements and strategy;

• Create and maintain BI documentation on collaboration platforms within TME (SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Confluence);

• Coordinate BI activities between business and IT teams, including NMSCs;

• Help create architectural BI product roadmaps;

• Collaborate with other IT teams (O365, DBA, Cloud) to establish governance, data reliance and infrastructure standards;

• Maintain communication with BI project teams (incl. external vendors);

• Lead the Power BI community within TME; supporting people on developing their BI reports, share tips and tricks or monthly PBI updates, and share trainings of external parties. My main responsibilities are:

• Help teams gather requirements on data projects, share standards and good practices, and publish documentation;

• Develop enterprise reference architecture and roadmaps;

• Coach and guide solution developers and key users;

• Reach consensus on the proposed solutions within EA and IT development teams;

• Explain the technology direction to a technical audience;

• Help a non-technical audience (e.g. executives) understand complex issues. Next to my role at the BICC, I'm part of a development team for a PAN-E project. In this project there are several smaller projects. My main role is to support, develop, and follow up. (Data analysis, ETL, SQL, SSAS).
