It is my passion to create value with Business Intelligence.

My Career
Below is the timeline of my professional career.
BI Architect at Inergy, Woerden
Currently I am working as a BI Architect for Inergy, a BI & Analytics company in Woerden, The Netherlands. The company's main value proposition is a datawarehouse managed service on the IBM's Netezza datawarehousing appliance, with MicroStrategy reporting on top. Other managed services are also offered, including Microsoft Azure datawarehousing with PowerBI reporting, Analytics solutions, etc.
Enterprise Architect, Ricoh Europe, London
Ricoh is a company in the printing industry. Ricoh Europe is the regional mother company for the operating companies across Europe. As an enterprise architect I've been working on various IT projects, with a focus on standardization, efficiency improvement and cost reduction. In this role it was my responsibility to work with the operating companies and define target solutions, investigate different options, build business cases and advise IT management. In this period I've been primarily involved with BI, working on a new European BI platform, consisting of Oracle database (12c), IBM's ETL tool Datastage, and Board reporting.
Enteprise Architect at Ricoh Netherlands, Den Bosch
After a reorganisation within the IT department at Ricoh Netherlands, it was decided to make a start with enterprise architecture. As an enterprise architect I became responsible for the application architecture, maintaining the IT landscape and applying architecture principles for IT projects. In this period I have introduced working with PSA's in project governance processes. Sogeti's DYA was chosen as the enteprise architecture framework.
DWH Architect, Ricoh Netherlands, Den Bosch
In this period I've been the lead DWH Architect for Ricoh Netherlands. The primary focus was to standardize the solution by building conformed facts and dimensions to ensure different stakeholder groups were reporting the same figures in their reports and were able to speak the same language with each other.
DWH Developer, Randstad, Diemen
In 1996 Randstad decided to start a pilot for building a datawarehouse, using SAS technology. Once the added value of the solution was recognized by senior management, it was decided to rebuild the datawarehouse, using Essbase/400 technology. After a reorganization and change of IT management, the datawarehouse was rebuilt once again, this time using a combination of Oracle database and Cognos technology. I've been working on these different datawarehouse projects as a developer using these various technologies.
