, LECTURE 1: INTRODUCTION TO BI AND DATABASE SYSTEMS
1. INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
Data Information Knowledge
Methods of BI:
1. Descriptive analytics: use data to understand past and present.
Retrospective
2. Diagnostic analytics: explain why something happened.
3. Predictive analytics: predict future behavior based on past
performance.
Prospective
4. Prescriptive analytics: make decisions or recommendations to
achieve the best performance.
1.1. BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE (BI) VS. BUSINESS ANALYTICS (BA).
These terms are often fighting for dominance, distinguished by the following view:
- BI = data warehousing + descriptive analytics
- BA = predictive + prescriptive analytics
However, the prof thinks they are too similar to really be separated, as both are examples of a Decision
Support System (DSS).
1.2. DEFINITION
= Transforming data into meaningful information/knowledge to support business decision-
making. (general)
= BI is an umbrella term that combines the processes, technologies, and tools needed to
transform data into information, information into knowledge, and knowledge into plans that
drive profitable business action. (process view)
= BI is information and knowledge that enables business decision-making. (output view)
