At Danske Commodities, we are very focused on having a strong link between IT and the core business. Our Business Analysts and Project Managers help improve the business operations across DC and the current trend is clear: More markets, more systems, more people, more competitors.
Therefore, our Business Analysts play a key-role in translating business needs and specifying requirements to our developers. We cover all aspects of business analysis, tools development, IT architecture governance and project management, always aiming for the right solution in every project. As a result, we enhance DC's performance through our trading tools, streamlined processes, and efficient solution designs.
In addition, our strong project management skills are what allow us to deliver on the business needs and develop the right solutions outlined by our business analysts. Together, we optimise our project portfolio, constantly striving towards optimally allocating our resources to the projects and tasks that create the most value for DC.
