This month we would like to introduce you to Emily Petrini. Emily is based out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL and is passionate about sharing her expert knowledge of our Data Modeling for Qlik Sense course with students.
1. How long have you been with Qlik?
8 years this fall!
2. How did you become an instructor?
I was introduced to Qlik through a close friend of mine who was working here at the time. She told me how great the company was and how much she enjoyed it, so I decided to apply f
or a technical trainer role. My previous job also required me to travel to customer sites and deliver training, so I thought it might be a good fit. Luckily, I was right! I have loved working at Qlik and have truly enjoyed the ability to learn about their products and share that knowledge with others.
3. What do you love about teaching Qlik courses?
Getting the opportunity to teach someone a new skill is truly fulfilling. I love it when a student realizes that even without experience, they can leverage Qlik to turn data into insights that will help them make better decisions in their work. The intuitive nature of Qlik’s interface, its ability to support both technical and non-technical developers and the beautiful dashboards it creates makes my job easy!
4. What are your favorite features on the new platform?
Qlik Cloud has become a full, end-to-end data pipeline with little to no need for any additional tools to help a business succeed in gaining value out of their data. There are so many incredible features for app developers- like data alerts, built-in reporting and continuous improvement on visuals and chart objects. There are also endless improvements on the data integration side- where developers can build no-code data pipelines to move and transform data to ingest into your analytics. What’s more, due to the nature of this SaaS product there is no need to manually update your site
to see all of these new features and updates! But if I had to pick one feature that is my favorite, I would have to pick Application Automation. The power of this interface in building workflows triggered by Qlik events is truly incredible. There is no longer a need for expensive third parties or technical command lines to integrate Qlik with the rest of your business functions. Application Automation provides a no-code, drag and drop interface for any user to leverage- which greatly expands its power and capability.
5. What is your favorite course to teach?
Data Modeling for Qlik Sense! In my opinion, this course is best at helping to understand what is happening “under the hood” so you can make better and more accurate decisions about what you present on your dashboards. Admittedly, when I first delivered this training, I was intimidated. But after time I was able to understand the WHY behind it all and invite any and all that are interested to join me in better understanding your data!
