Business Intelligence “the ability to apprehend the interrelationships of presented facts in such a way as to guide action towards a desired goal.” • Hans Peter Luhn, 1958 “concepts and methods to improve business decision making by using fact-based support systems.” - Howard Dresner, 1989
The Promise of BI By 2000, Information Democracy will emerge in forward-thinking enterprises, with Business Intelligence information and applications available broadly to employees, consultants, customers, suppliers, and the public. The key to thriving in a competitive marketplace is staying ahead of the competition. Making sound business decisions based on accurate and current information takes more than intuition. Data analysis, reporting, and query tools can help business users wade through a sea of data to synthesize valuable information from it - today these tools collectively fall into a category called "Business Intelligence.“ - The Gartner Group, 1996
How Does Technology Work? • Any process will have a “bottle-neck” or constraint • Process Improvement = removing the existing constraint (sometimes) • Removing the existing constraint = technology (sometimes)
BI’s Goal • Better Decisions -> Better Performance
BI = Decision Support • Decision Sciences • How do we make decisions? • How can we make “better” decisions?
BI = Better Information (Kinda’) • Business Intelligence: “…application programs and technologies for gathering, storing, analyzing, and providing access to data to help enterprise users make better business decisions.”
BI = A Set of Use Cases • Reporting • Dashboard • Ad Hoc Query • MS Office Integration • Search-based BI • OLAP • Interactive Visualization • Predictive Modeling and Data Mining • Scorecards • Alerts • Workflow Processing
BI = A Set of Technologies • Data Storage and Computing Hardware • Applications and Data Sources • Data Integration (ETL) • Relational Database Engines • OLAP Engines • Data Modeling / Profiling / Quality Tools • Metadata • Analytic / BI Applications • Information Presentation and Delivery
