Business Intelligence: new generation
​

Business Intelligence (BI) collects and combines operational/transactional data, and renders them to business users through intuitive and interactive decisional reports and dashboards.

 

The implementation of a BI solution includes 5 steps:

​​

  1. definition of business needs in terms of reports and data analysis

  2. operational data collection

  3. optional: aggregation of data within a data warehouse (or Datawarehouse)

  4. creation of reports and dashboards (KPI's / graphs / tables / filters, drills)

  5. sharing and publishing

​

BI Traditionnelle VS BI Moderne

​

Traditional Business Intelligence classique is built around a datawarehouse, which homogenizes, aggregates, and historizes data. Cubes complete this approach to pre-calculate measurements and cross over several dimensions.

Traditional BI offers a more sustainable foundation and is independent of the reporting layer. Yest, its implementation is long and changes are not agile.

​

New Generation Business Intelligence imports data directly from sources and performs all transformations on the fly. High-performance, interactive dashboards provide the user with an immediate aggregated and detailed view.

BI 'new generation' produces the first reports in a matter of days. It gives the business user unparalleled self-service flexibility.
