Transforming Data into Key Business Insights with BI

using business data - papers with charts and graphs

Data Analytics and Business Intelligence (BI) involve a range of tools that access and analyze available data that may come from different teams or departments. BI transforms data into valuable business insights that can help senior management in organizations make better and smarter business decisions.

Large data sets per se may not be useful or even make sense on their own, but Data Analytics and BI tools can process them and provide users with easy-to-digest, valuable information about the current status of business activities that could be essential to the decision-making process.

How Data Analytics & BI Make Decisions Clearer

In other words, Data Analytics and BI aim to deliver straightforward snapshots of the current state of affairs to business managers. They offer a way to find and understand trends and patterns in large data sets and help compare the current state with organization goals. These findings are usually presented in the form of reports, dashboards, summaries, charts, tables, etc.

Businesses need to utilize Data Analytics and BI capabilities to monitor and track their performance in various areas (project management, risk management, etc.) and discover room for improvement, as well as any inefficiencies.

For instance, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) providing real-time information on the state of different business areas are a good example of what capabilities Data Analytics and BI have to offer.
