BIMaven ConsultingBusiness Unit Manager
Sep. 2010 - Mar. 2012Lisbon Area, PortugalBIMaven is a strategic and technological consulting company specialized in Business Intelligence, Data Management and Business Analytics. BIMaven mission is to develop and motivate a network of experts, providing our clients with a business intelligence competency center to drive their decision support systems to excellence. BIMaven is recognized as the portuguese consulting company with the best Microstrategy resources. At BIMaven, I was responsible for the creation and development of a Business Unit exclusively focused on Data Management, and all the topics that can be included in this category: Data Integration, Data Quality, Master Data Management, Information Lifecycle Management, and more. I was also responsible for all kinds of projects related to this area, for example Data Migration, Data Synchronization, Application Retirement, and Legacy Retirement, among others. Our objective is to help our clients to gain more value from their data, whether it resides in the cloud or on premises. Cloud Computing is gaining traction among more and more local business and IT customers, and we are on the forefront of solution delivery in this area. Despite the use of a large range of technology, we have become a leading partner for Informatica for the Portuguese market, assuming the role of reseller and authorized partner for training. I also had the initiative of start another Business Unit related to Business Analytics (or "Visual Data Mining for Business users" as we like to call it), i've also taked the responsability to develop this area. After a market analysis of existing technologies, our decision was to choose a new player who was already presenting positive results in the analytical market space, so we decided to become distributors of Quiterian (acquired by Actuate on Oct, 2012, Actuate was acquired by OpenText in Jan, 2015) with the product Dynamic Data Web. This choice proved to be the right one due the positive feedback we've had from many customers.
