Ignacio de la Torre (安虎)’s Summary
My name is Ignacio de la Torre and when I go to sleep at night and I close my eyes I see zeros and ones.
Just kidding, actually thats a very primitive way to look at data, the passion that drives my career and my thinking is creating business value and improving business operations by transforming those bits of data into metrics that are clear and actionable.
Currently I am very excited about being part of our PeopleSoft implementation at the University of Arizona. I am very involved in our metadata repository, our PepleSoft Enterprise Performance Management Warehouse implementation and the Human Capital Management (HCM) team. It has been really nice to be able to quickly ramp-up my functional knowledge at the same time I'm allowed to play a key role in the design of both our ETL (DataStage) and BI (OBIEE) architectures. This is a great job because I got here early in an effort to get our DW technology to a new level of usability so I get to do architecture/design, planning, user requirements, coding, in simple words I get to play with a lot of tools and learn a lot about our functional configuration and business processes, this keep me challenged and really busy!
Take a look at my blogs, they're in early stages and do not have a lot of information right now but I hope they will be very useful resources :)
