Career in IT: An interview with Stefan from the Business Intelligence team
08. Nov 2023
The BAUR Group has a Business Intelligence (BI) department in its IT division. Stefan tells us today what the team's tasks and challenges are.
Hi, please introduce yourself.
My name is Stefan Schmaus and I am 31 years old. I live in the Upper Franconian town of Scheßlitz. I have been working in the BI (Business Intelligence) team at BAUR-IT since 2018.
How did you join the BAUR Group?
It all started with an exciting internship that I was looking for as additional experience during my Master's degree in Business Informatics. This resulted in a position as a Master's student, which ultimately turned into a permanent position, as it was a perfect fit for both sides.
How would you explain your tasks to someone who is not at all familiar with your work?
Our tasks are wide-ranging, but in simple terms they can be described as bringing together data from different data sources within and sometimes outside the company, processing it and making it available to users in clear applications/reports.
What are the challenges?
Challenges often include the need to create a common understanding with the client at the beginning of the implementation process as to what the future reporting requirements are.
In addition, not only can the merging of data from heterogeneous data sources pose a challenge, but the calculation logic based on this can also be somewhat more complex.
Would you recommend working in the Business Intelligence team to others?
Definitely! Due to the numerous user groups we deal with, you come into contact with many different areas inside and outside the company, which always results in varied activities. The prerequisite is, of course, that you have a basic interest in dealing with large amounts of data 😀
What can you say about the corporate culture and cooperation in the BAUR Group?
Supported by the cultural change that has been practiced for years, I believe there is an extremely pleasant atmosphere within the BAUR Group. One example that spontaneously comes to mind is the "you" and the open approach to feedback, which create an atmosphere of trust at work.
What advice would you give to people who are interested in your job?
Feel free to contact us and see for yourself! 😊
