From Big Data To Better Decisions

THE BI GUIDE: WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO LEARN.

From sales opportunities to supply chain logistics, and from accounting software to social media stats, your organization is bursting at the seams with data. Business intelligence (BI) is the combination of tools, processes, and skills that help turn that vast amount of data into digestible information. With information coming from every part of your organization, everyone needs better access to data to do their job well. Chances are, you need it, too. It’s why you’re reading this guide. Browse our list of chapters to go straight to information specific to your needs, or feel free to read it cover to cover for a holistic view at how you can use BI to shape your work.

 

BI HAS OUTGROWN SPREADSHEETS AND DATA WAREHOUSES.

Before business intelligence was “business intelligence,” it was nothing but numbers written on spreadsheets (the actual paper variety). But as technology grew, little changed with how business leaders consumed information—they moved from paper to digital, and when the volume got to be big enough, they moved the data from desktop spreadsheets to a massive table known as a database. In the end, the results were the same: static information presented in a document, maybe with a few graphs thrown in for good measure. But you don’t need new ways to replicate antiquated business practices. If you can get real-time updates on obscure college friends’ lives through social media, then you should be able to access information from your business anytime, anywhere. Now it’s time to learn how to access the right data at the right time. Keep reading—you’re in the right place.
