Andy Shott

I'm passionate about business analytics and the important role that it plays in the day-to-day running of businesses, and how it can be used in the planning and implementation of service improvement projects.
I believe data is central to all aspects of business, from informing small business meetings to changes in business models and ways of working.

23 years specialising in systems analysis, requirements engineering and application development to enhance business processes across various departments: Sales; Procurement; Finance; Accounts Payable; Accounts Receivable; Fixed Assets; Product Forecasting; Human Resources; Process Monitoring.

I am an experienced, motivated and creative Qlik BI Developer with a successful track record of 7 years designing and supporting QlikSense and QlikView applications – both dashboards and tiered solutions.  Taking projects from an initial concept, through requirements gathering to delivering the BI solution, along with providing user training as required.

I am proficient at ETL (“extract, transform and load”) to combine data from various databases/data sources, along with data modelling experience (Kimball) to create well designed, informative, visually appealing applications using a variety of visualisations to enable business people to easily answer key questions about the state of their company’s operations.  My BI solutions are engineered to save costs and time while improving process integration.  I have experience of permanent, contract and consultancy roles.
