Business Intelligence

Business intelligence (BI) can be described as "a set of techniques and tools
for the acquisition and transformation of raw data into meaningful and useful
information for business analysis purposes". The term "data surfacing" is also more
often associated with BI functionality. BI technologies are capable of handling large
amounts of unstructured data to help identify, develop and otherwise create new
strategic business opportunities. The goal of BI is to allow for the easy interpretation of
these large volumes of data. Identifying new opportunities and implementing an
effective strategy based on insights can provide businesses with a competitive market
advantage and long-term stability.
BI technologies provide historical, current and predictive views of business operations.
Common functions of business intelligence 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.

BI can be used to support a wide range of business decisions ranging from operational
to strategic. Basic operating decisions include product positioning or pricing. Strategic
business decisions include priorities, goals and directions at the broadest level. In all
cases, BI is most effective when it combines data derived from the market in which a
company operates (external data) with data from company sources internal to the
business such as financial and operations data (internal data). When combined, external
and internal data can provide a more complete picture which, in effect, creates an
"intelligence" that cannot be derived by any singular set of data. Amongst myriad uses,
BI tools empower organisations to gain insight into new markets, assess demand and
suitability of products and services for different market segments and gauge the impact
of marketing efforts.

OLAP

In computing, online

analytical

processing,

or OLAP,

is

an

approach

to

answering multi-dimensional analytical (MDA) queries swiftly. OLAP is part of the

broader category of business intelligence, which also encompasses relational database,
report

writing

reporting for

and data

mining. Typical

sales, marketing,

applications

management

of

OLAP

include business

reporting, business

process

management (BPM), budgeting and forecasting, financial reporting and similar areas,
with new applications coming up, such as agriculture. The term OLAP was created as a
slight modification of the traditional database term online transaction processing (OLTP).
OLAP tools enable users to analyze multidimensional data interactively from multiple
perspectives. OLAP consists of three basic analytical operations: consolidation (roll-up),
drill-down, and slicing and dicing. Consolidation involves the aggregation of data that
can be accumulated and computed in one or more dimensions. For example, all sales
offices are rolled up to the sales department or sales division to anticipate sales trends.
By contrast, the drill-down is a technique that allows users to navigate through the
details. For instance, users can view the sales by individual products that make up a
regions sales. Slicing and dicing is a feature whereby users can take out (slicing) a
specific set of data of the OLAP cube and view (dicing) the slices from different
viewpoints. These viewpoints are sometimes called dimensions (such as looking at the
same sales by salesperson or by date or by customer or by product or by region, etc.)
Databases configured for OLAP use a multidimensional data model, allowing for
complex analytical and ad hoc queries with a rapid execution time. They borrow aspects
of navigational databases, hierarchical databases and relational databases.
