Business Intelligence (BI)

BI refers to skills, technologies, applications, process and practices to support decision making.
It provides direct background data and report tools to support and improve the decision making
process. Its a broad category of applications and technologies to gather, store, analysis and
provide access to the data. BI technologies provide historical, current and predictive views of
business operations. Common functions of BI technologies are reporting, online analytical
processing, analytics, data mining, process mining, complex event processing, business
performance management, benchmarking, text mining, predictive analytics and prescriptive
analytics. Most companies collect a large amount of data from their business operations. To keep
track of that information, a business would need to use a wide range of software programs such
as excel, access and other different database application for their organization. It uses multiple
software programs which makes it difficult to retrieve information in a timely manner and to
perform analysis of the data.

OLAP

processing and its computer-based technique for analyzing business data in search for business
intelligence. Also, its a multidimensional array of data that serves as optimized for OLAP
application and data warehousing. Its a way of storing relevant data in multidimensional form to
make it appear more logical when used to generate reports and facilitate more efficient analytics.
