Business Analyst

Description

1. Understanding of Business Objects, Teradata, star schema designs and reporting would be useful. The request is to have to the BA help to define requirements and determine the level of effort to develop the new Sales reports including adding more data to the existing EDW star schema database tables in Teradata. 2. The BA will work with the business clients to get detailed requirements for the report(s) and new data elements. Once having gathered the detailed requirements, will review the existing design in EDW and determine the level of work to provide the new data elements plus build the additional reports. The end deliverable is to provide enough information to develop a full estimate for the construction phase of the project which will occur after the initial 6 weeks (Inception/Elaboration phases). Hopefully this role will get extended to be involved in the Construction phase as well working with the developer to complete the reports for the clients. 3. The business driver is that the Finance clients have requested additional Sales reports in EDW to support new reporting requirements related to the new organization structure at Amgen (new Regional reporting needs). 4. I would hope to only have to interview the candidates once. We would like them to start on Oct 22, so I want to have the interviews completed by 10/18 at the latest so we can onboard the candidate for 10/22. If I can get resumes of the candidates by 10/12 I will schedule the interviews for the following week. Contracted BI BA to develop the requirements for GCO Finance Sales Reporting.
