Business intelligence (BI) involves methods, processes, technologies, and tools to convert data into useful information that helps organizations make better plans and decisions. It has evolved from executive information systems and decision support systems in the 1980s to include data warehousing, dashboards, analytics, and big data capabilities today. BI provides benefits like improved management and operations, better adjustments to trends, and the ability to predict the future. It has applications across private and public sector organizations. The BI process involves requirements analysis, data modeling, ETL, analytics, and presentation. Key components are the data warehouse, OLAP, data mining, and visualization tools like reports, dashboards, and scorecards. The global BI market is expected to grow significantly

4. What is Business Intelligence?
Business Intelligence is an umbrella term for a set of
- methods,
- processes,
- technologies, and
- tools
that help us to convert data into information,
information into knowledge and knowledge into plans
that guide the organizations for its very betterment,
traditionally known as Decision Support System (DSS).

12. BILC (Business Intelligence Life Cycle)
Analyze Business Requirements - reviewing business requirements to determine the types of
analysis user need to perform.
Design Data Model - Based on the business requirements, design the logical data model, which
shows the information that users want to analyze and the relationships that exists within the data.
Design the Physical Schema - Using the data model design physical schema (creating dimension
and fact table hence star schema) which defines the content and structure of the data
warehouse.
Build the Data Warehouse - Build the data warehouse according to the schema design and load
data into the warehouse (Developing RPD with 3 layers accordingly- Physical, Logical/BMM,
Presentation layers) from source systems through ETL.
Create the Project Structure (Metadata) - Create the metadata and begin to connect and map
the metadata to table in the data warehouse e.g.
Develop The BI Objects - Develop object, like reports, scorecards and dashboard.
Administer and Maintain the Project - Administer and maintain the project as it undergoes
continued development and changes, monitor performance and make adjustments to improve
it, manage security, and perform other ongoing administrative tasks.

14. Data Management
A special database system called Data Warehouse or Data Mart (a subset of Data
Warehouse) is often used to store enterprise data
The purpose of a data warehouse is to organize lots of stable data for ease of analysis
and retrieval.
Large databases that aggregate data collected from multiple sources
Enterprise level data are coming from multiple different sources, but finally combined into
Data Warehouse
Operational databases
Spreadsheets
Text, CSV
PDF, Paper

18. BI - Analysis Tools
Basic querying and reporting - Tell me what happened.
Structured and fixed format reports Based on simple and direct queries
Usually involves simple descriptive analysis and transformation of data, such as calculating, sorting,
filtering, grouping, and formatting
Ad hoc query and reporting - Tell me what happened when they
need.
Similar to operational reporting but on a need basis
Business analysis(OLAP) - Tell me what happened with why.
A multi-dimensional analysis and reporting application for aggregated data
Great for discovering details from large quantities of data
Business analytics (BA) is the practice of iterative, methodical exploration of an organizations data with
emphasis on statistical analysis.
Data mining - Tell me what might happen or Tell me something
interesting.
Data mining techniques are a blend of statistics and mathematics, and artificial intelligence and
machine-learning.

19. OLAP CUBE
OLAP is an acronym for online analytical
processing, refers to multi-dimensional array which
is a computer-based technique of analyzing data to
look for insights. The term cube here refers to a
multi-dimensional dataset, which is also
sometimes called a hypercube if the number of
dimensions is greater than 3.
OLAP slicing: Slice is the act of picking a
rectangular subset of a cube by choosing a
single value for one of its dimensions, creating
a new cube with one fewer dimensions.The
picture shows a slicing operation: The sales
figures of all sales regions and all product
categories of the company in the year 2004
are "sliced" out of the data cube.
19
20. OLAP Functionalities
OLAP dicing: The dice operation produces a
sub cube by allowing the analyst to pick
specific values of multiple dimensions. The
picture shows a dicing operation: The new
cube shows the sales figures of a limited
number of product categories, the time and
region dimensions cover the same range as
before.
OLAP Drill-up and drill-down: Drill Down/Up
allows the user to navigate among levels of
data ranging from the most summarized (up)
to the most detailed (down).The picture
shows a drill-down operation: The analyst
moves from the summary category "Outdoor-
Schutzausr端stung" to see the sales figures for
the individual products.
20
21. Roll-up: A roll-up involves summarizing the data along a dimension i.e. processes data on the level of
sub totals and totals (aggregation) within a database,. The summarization rule might be computing
totals along a hierarchy or applying a set of formulas such as "profit = sales - expenses".
OLAP pivoting: Pivot allows an analyst to rotate the cube in space to see its various faces. For
example, cities could be arranged vertically and products horizontally while viewing data for a
particular quarter. Pivoting could replace products with time periods to see data across time for a
single product. The picture shows a pivoting operation: The whole cube is rotated, giving another
perspective on the data.

OLAP Functionalities
23. Data Mining
Data mining (or, knowledge discovery in database - KDD)
Processes and techniques for seeking knowledge (relationship, trends, patterns, etc.) from a large
amount of data
Extremely large datasets
Data mining applications use for
sophisticated statistical and mathematical techniques to find patterns and relationships
among data
Classification, clustering, association, estimation, prediction, trending, pattern, etc.
Common techniques
Neural network, genetic algorithm, machine learning

24. Presentation
Reports
A report is the presentation of data transformed into formatted and organized information
according to specific business requirements.
Based on simple and direct queries: usually involves simple analysis and transformation of
data (sorting, calculating, filtering, filtering, grouping, formatting, etc.)
Reports can be static or interactive. But most reports are ready for printing.
Visualization
An essential way for human understanding and sense making
In the forms of table, charts, diagrams
Visualization can also be part of the analysis process (visual analytics)
Dashboard
A dashboard is a visual display of the most important information needed to achieve one or
more objectives; consolidated and arranged on a single screen so the information can be
monitored at a glance.
Ability to identify trends and Gain total visibility of all systems instantly at one place
