A very highly visible project (Executive Steering Committee) as this projects roll out expectations are directly related to substantial increased sales revenues.PWI Profiler Project – Develop a combined Personal & Workplace Investing profiler tool in QlikView. Carry forward the metrics from the standard home grown Personal Investing profile tool, and incorporate functionality in support of Workplace Investing metrics as well. Forty-five percent of the analytics teams time is spent on ad-hoc data pull requests. This effort equates to one Full Time employees work per month. The new tool will provide a time saving reporting tool allowing the business reps to manage their reporting requests as self-service. QlikView will provide the added dimension of presenting the data visually, and still support the ability to off load to an Excel spread sheet. Data from the Customer Warehouse Environment (CWE and the PWI View data model) is used to populate the reports.Leads Visualization POC Project– Assisted with drafting the MSA/NDA/SOW to on board consultants from Analytics8. Designed/Developed using 3rd party tool QlikView, we delivered a means to visually (graphically) present answers to marketing related questions: How are overall leads performing, which campaigns are successful, how are they performing geographically, how are reps performing with certain lead types, etc. Answering many of the questions marketing was unable to answer today. This is a huge advantage over what the marketing leadership team was using to try to find these answers today – time consuming manipulation of Excel spread sheet report data. Show less
