What is Business Intelligence

BI describes a set of concepts and methods to improve business decision making by using fact-based support systems. BI is sometimes used interchangeably with briefing books, report and query tools and executive information systems.

What is Business Intelligence

• Enterprise Business Intelligence• Enterprise business intelligence involves deploying query, reporting,

and analysis capabilities to all employees who can benefit from them as well as to customers and suppliers.

• Search BI• BI search applies keyword search capabilities to structured data and BI

reports, making it possible for users to find reports, generate queries, and find related analyses with a simplified user interface.

• Data Governance• Data governance describes the people, processes, and technology needed

to ensure consistent definitions and rules for commonly used data elements.

• Performance Management• Performance management uses business intelligence tools to monitor and

manage progress toward achieving strategic objectives and goals represented in budgets and other plans.

• Predictive Analytics• Predictive analytics uses analytical models based on statistical and

machine-learning algorithms to describe or predict patterns within large volumes of data to help companies better anticipate events and behavior.
