What is business intelligence?

BI is all about revealing the most important parts of data from a business perspective. It’s often the first step towards data science and broader data utilization. Similarly, it’s often the primary stage of building data-driven organizations and/or products.

Business intelligence technologies include business analytics, data analytics, data mining, data visualization, data tools and infrastructure, as well as data relevant best practices. Business intelligence services help you make data-driven decisions by giving a broad view of your company’s data.

A business intelligence strategy uses data to drive change within an organization. A modern BI strategy prioritizes:
  • flexible self-service analysis
  • governed data on trusted platforms
  • empowered business users
  • speed to insight

Business intelligence systems and business intelligence analytics collect data, store and analyze it, and turn it into actionable insights.

These insights provide users with detailed intelligence about the state of a business and help inform tactical decisions. Employees and stakeholders can access the data via user-friendly business intelligence dashboards, reports, and charts

What is the role of business intelligence?

Business intelligence solutions are data-driven decision support systems (DSS).

By using business intelligence tools, you’re able to analyze data yourself instead of relying on IT. The data insights you have access to help you back up decisions with facts and proof rather than gut feelings and judgment.

The output you receive using BI solutions is easy to understand and navigate and based on hard numbers. It helps answer questions like why sales are dropping and what customers are commenting on social media.

By offering past and current insights, BI builds an accurate picture of your business and helps you create an effective business strategy. As a result, business performance and revenue improve, you gain a competitive advantage, and reach (or surpass) your business goals. Other benefits include:

  • Better ROI, visibility, and transparency
  • Achieving a superior understanding of customer behavior
  • A means to monitor operations and make ongoing improvements
  • Enhanced process execution management
