Business Intelligence (BI)

What is Business Intelligence (BI)?

Business Intelligence (BI) is an information technology field that entails collecting and structuring business information for use in reporting, analysis and decision support. A BI solution often consists of software to extract data from source systems, transform the data according to business definitions, and load the transformed data into a database. This type of database is often called a data warehouse. On top of the data warehouse database, software is used to model and visualize the data.

BI is used to provide better corporate governance and a better basis for planning and future decisions. Microsoft and Oracle are among the largest providers of Business Intelligence solutions, with Microsoft Power BI and Oracle Business Intelligence, among other products.

Today, the goal for many customers is to become more data-driven. To do this, data must be collected, structured and stored on the right platforms - either traditional, structured relational data warehouses or big data solutions. The entire architecture of becoming a data-driven organization can be located in the cloud, and our consultants have broad experience in both building and moving solutions from on-premise to the cloud.
