Turn Data Into Opportunity With These 9 Business Intelligence Tools

By Carlo Castille 2 months ago

Businesses and enterprises have a lot of data to contend with. From acquisition and retention metrics to prospective customers, internal business processes, partners, affiliates, and competitor data, knowing what data matters most to your business can be difficult.

Often, businesses can’t -or simply neglect to -leverage their data effectively into actionable wins that can grow revenue and help them operate more efficiently.

That’s where business intelligence (BI) tools can really help. They pull your data from dozens of sources, clean it up, transform it, and display it visually via dashboards and reports, which are far easier to interpret than raw numbers and fields. BI also makes it easier to track the ins and outs of what’s actually happening in your company.

While BI tools have been around for decades, there’s been an explosion of excellent online tools entering the market in recent years. These tools are constantly evolving to meet

Data warehouse: a foundation for business intelligence

By Carlo Castille 2 months ago

Businesses are making data analytics a priority like never before — so much so that, according to a recent TDWI study, 82% of businesses are prioritizing their budgets around new technologies and services for analytics and business intelligence.

To derive value from their data, however, companies must efficiently sort through it. A data warehouse can store and organize historical, operational, and transactional data for analytical use, improving data accessibility and enhancing a business’s ability to make bottom-line decisions.

Data warehouse characteristics

A data warehouse is a repository that stores current and historical data from disparate sources. It’s a key component of a data analytics architecture that creates an environment for decision support, analytics, business intelligence, and data mining.

A data warehouse holds data from multiple sources, including internal databases and SaaS platforms. After the data has been loaded, it can be cleansed, transformed, catalogued, and checked for quality before it’s

Click to learn more about author Samuel Bocetta.

Companies are implementing business strategies
with some key objectives in mind: cost reduction, improvements in efficiency,
and enhanced profitability.

Business intelligence can add huge value in these areas, which is why professionals in business intelligence and data analysis are in great demand. In a 2017 IBM report, the demand for data scientists in the United States was expected to increase to 28 percent by 2020. Now here we are.

Business intelligence involves the analysis of past and current data in order to provide practical insights for informed decision-making. The data can be diverse depending on needs. For example, it can include sales that result over a specific length of time, client behavior, or operating costs. Data analytics also often involve prescriptive analysis and predictive modeling.

These and other methods are merged by
experienced professionals with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning (ML)

Best business intelligence tools in 2020: BI tools for data visualizations

By Carlo Castille 4 months ago

Business intelligence (BI) tools aim to provide easy ways to visualize data, in order to better identify actionable insights. 

This is especially important when the modern business can now collect data on every aspect of a business, from sales and marketing, to workflows and productivity, to hiring and HR, to overall performance and profitability.

However, many of these data points exist in isolation and require the best BI tools to connect the dots together. This is what business intelligence represents: the ability to not just look at a specific detail of business operations, but tie in key information from each angle into an overall whole.

This can then allow for real insights and predictions for improving business performance, not least through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). A number of software packages also come with their own analytics, but these can also usually be exported into a business intelligence platform.
