BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE Every business and every industry is facing the same decade-long trend: an increasing volume of both structured and unstructured data from an increasing number of sources. New business processes and new business models are created at rapid paces, driven by Insights derived from this data. Netflix, Amazon, and Uber are obvious examples. Social media, the Internet of Things (IoT), and digital processes generate new mountains of data, in addition to the already growing pile of data collected by businesses as they are moving more and more of their business processes into the Digital Age. How can companies extract insights and benefit from the growing amounts of data? How can companies create a data-centric and evidence-based business culture? How can companies manage data analytics and business intelligence initiatives to profit from this growing trend? How can companies provide line-of-business managers with actionable insights through guided analysis and reporting? Most enterprises have a diverse and varying set of analytical and BI needs, based on the depth, subject, volume and structure of the data used, business processes, and the types of BI users. At EPE, business intelligence is our core competence.
DATA ANALYTICS Given the broad field that is Business Intelligence, there are a large variety of data analytics types: Reporting & Alerts
Most common use of BI. Includes: simple or production-ready reports, parameter-driven reports, drill-down reports or alerts. Alerts signal monitoring events or data values, sent via email or messaging app.
Dashboards
Single-page visualizations which combine data charts, tables or grids, and advanced JavaScript charts or animations. Allows drill down and drill cross. Data updated on regular schedule, on demand via users, or triggered by data update.
OLAP Analysis
Ad-hoc analysis, but queried from a multi-dimensional (OLAP) cube. Users can drill down a dimensional hierarchy or drill-across multiple dimensions (pivot), or both.
Predictive Analytics
A type of advanced analytics. Commonly employed by data scientists to create predictive models or forecasts. These models can be used in visualizations or data discovery. Sometimes referred to as data mining or machine learning. Proper usage will help business leaders gain insights into trends and subtle business patterns, optimize decision making, and assess risks.
Performance Management
Measures business in key areas (or KPIs) at regular intervals to identify trends and detect problems.
Data Discovery
A type of ad-hoc analysis to create a mashup of data visualizations and dashboards to present
PM is typically a management tool, leveraging BI to manage and improve business processes. data. Recent excitement in this BI style comes from innovative tools such as Tableau and Qlik Sense, which incorporate a self-service graphical UI to ease the data selection and BI mashup.
Data Visualization
Inclusive of dashboards. Visual communication of data via charts, plots, tables, and statistical models to communicate information effectively to information consumers.
Big Data Analytics
This is BI for large sets of data, both structured and unstructured. Current relational databases and BI applications deal well with structured data, no matter the size. However, alternatives to current relational databases and BI tools are often needed to analyze textual data from social media content, email texts, phone records, sensor data collected from the Internet of Things (IoT) etc.
Mobile BI
BI consumed through mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets.
Cloud BI
The migration of BI back-ends from enterprise-managed servers to the cloud. The options vary from storing data in the cloud to Software as a Service (SaaS) to entire BI Platform as a Service (PaaS). Advantages: reduced data center and IT costs, faster deployment times, and increased flexibility.
