Cencora is a large, multinational company, and I worked within the Business Analytics Technical Administration team, which is responsible for maintaining and supporting enterprise-level data and analytics platform used across the organization. In my role as a Business Analytics Intern, my primary function was to gain hands-on exposure to how analytics tolls are supported from a technical and operational perspective. I worked with platforms including QlikSense, QlikView, Power BI, SAP Business Objects, Tableau, and Alteryx, learning both their front-end functionality and backend processes required to keep them operational.<br \/>\nMy team was responsible for managing system updates, providing technical support, troubleshooting issues, and assisting with the implementation of new analytics tools. Throughout the internship, I met with team members and stakeholders across departments to understand how these platforms support business decision-making and how my team enables their reliable use. In addition, I connected with professionals in cybersecurity and IT auditing to learn how security controls, access management, and audits are conducted within Cencora&#8217;s analytics environment. Through these experiences, I developed a stronger understanding of enterprise systems, backend administration, and the importance of security in data platforms. This internship directly relates to my academic background as I am currently enrolled in Temple University&#8217;s 4+1 program with a concentration in cybersecurity, and it reinforced concepts from my coursework such as system administration, risk management, and IT auditing. Overall, this experience helped solidify my interest in pursuing a career in cybersecurity by showing how security principles are applied in a real-world corporate environment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28980,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16","points","type-points","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/lilyli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/16","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/lilyli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/lilyli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/points"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/lilyli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28980"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/lilyli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/lilyli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/16\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/lilyli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
