CJ Bauder

Company: JBS

Welcome - my name is CJ Bauder and I work on the Qlik Team at JBS! I began working with JBS in 2016, and spent 5 years working in the business as an analyst. Early on, while gaining understanding of business processes, I taught myself QlikView/Sense scripting and dashboarding so we could begin leveraging these powerful visualization tools. The experience has given me a business oriented perspective into dashboard design, data architecture, and usability. Now I am excited to be a part of our Qlik Team, bringing those same learnings into the I.T. division for our company! Our session today will present our model for business engagement and success using Qlik Products. These tools empower our business to connect to data, curate a self service environment, and allow business to drive improvement from the ground. Creating the most fluid and friction free analytics tools is crucial to success in a self service world. We hope you will join us to further the capability of your team today!
