David Parker

David J Parker's background has been in data visualization ever since he struggled to produce lists of hospital equipment from Computer Aided Design models of buildings as a budding architect in the '80s. He moved into building and infrastructure asset management in the late '80s using a Unix system and gradually migrated to Windows-based systems throughout the '90s. He became a European Business partner of Visio Corporation in 1996 and presented the database-linked Visio solutions that he was providing merchant banks in London and New York with at several international conferences. David started bVisual Ltd. in 1998, which provides Visio-based solutions to various industries, and became a Silver-level Microsoft partner. He has been a Microsoft MVP (Visio) for the last 12 years and has helped Microsoft Corp, UK and Western Europe, by providing Visio solutions, training, website content, and presentations. David has had several books on Visio published and has been presenting Visio/SharePoint integration courses for many years for Microsoft Western Europe, from Oslo in the North down to Lisbon in the South. He has presented at SQL and SharePoint Saturday conferences and writes a regular blog for people interested in Microsoft Visio.

Šenaj Lelić has worked in IT since 1991, and studied economy at the university of Munich (special studies: strategic management and software based Business Process management). Starting with BORLAND, he went on to work with Visio Corporation in 1996. Since then he has worked on many visualization solutions for different customers. When Visio was acquired by Microsoft in 2000 his focus shifted to Microsoft.NET and SharePoint, extending to support technologies such as SQL Server and Microsoft Teams. One consistent activity has been the creation and planning/architecture of BPM solutions and technologies - always using Visio as the graphical engine, but extending with SQL Server and SharePoint to create powerful but easy to use BPM solutions.
