Who are the 2013 AFSUG Women in Analytics?

“Being able to help customers realise their investment through reporting and analytics is what inspires me. It
is the final step of an  implementation that brings it all together for the customer, and also where you can make a big difference to the individual end users.”

Why Dorothy?
She has made a fundamental impact in the market and the
Analytics space in South Africa. Growing the ecosystem with her generous sharing of knowledge, mentoring and driving success in customers across the market.

“I was inspired by a dad who made me believe that I could do anything I wanted to. In my mind, I never thought of any career possibility as male dominated or not. IT seemed like a secure career option – every business relies on technology and they all need people to support and manage their systems and data.”

Why Hanjo?
She has demonstrated to her clients and to her company that she is capable of delivering large scale BI solutions on her own and also understands that SAP Analytic solutions must deliver business value over and above any technical efficiency.

“I’m proud to say that I’ve been employed at the international leading municipality for 23 years. I’ve been involved in the
ERP Finance Stream in the City’s ERP Solution Centre for 11 years – from the start of the City of Cape Town SAP implementation.”

Why Juanita?
She has led various BI projects that have truly transformed the organisation. She recently presented some of this work at the Mastering Finance held earlier this year.
