Business Intelligence

How does Business Intelligence work?

Collect, structure, transform, visualize

Business intelligence goes through a four-step process to turn raw data into actionable insights for the entire organization. These steps -- from collecting and analyzing data to visualizing it and ultimately using it for decision-making -- help companies leverage data effectively. Where companies previously performed analyses manually, BI now offers advanced tools that automate this process, saving time and effort.

Step 1: Collect and transform data from various sources

BI tools use the ETL (extract, transform, load) technique to bring together both structured and unstructured data from various sources. This data is then processed and stored in a central location, where it can be accessed for further analysis and reporting as one comprehensive data set. This central place is called the Data Warehouse.

Step 2: Analyze patterns and anomalies in the data

Data mining allows BI solutions to quickly detect patterns and anomalies in large data sets. Through automated analytics, companies discover important trends and anomalies that provide insight into their organization's performance. BI tools support different types of analytics, such as exploratory, statistical and predictive analytics, which analyze trends and provide valuable recommendations.
