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.

BI in an Information Workers DayMore than a
specialized tool

• While building my work plan for the year, I
• Review the team strategy document
• Collect numbers from last year
• Talk to the person formerly in my role
• Review what my manager is measuring me on
• Find other relevant content on my role
• Review the standard spreadsheet model
• Contribute to a forecast

BI is part of a much bigger process
