What can you do with Business
Intelligence?
Business Intelligence Applications
•
Multidimensional Analysis or Online
Analytical Processing (OLAP)
•
Data Mining
•
Decision Support Systems
Multidimensional Analysis or
Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)
“Slicing and dicing” data stored in a dimensional
format, drilling down in greater detail and aggregating
data.
Data Mining
Searching for information in a database, data
warehouse, or data mart.
Decision Support Systems (DSS)
Combine models and data in an attempt to
solve semistructured/unstructured problems.
DSS capabilities:

Sensitivity analysis

What-if analysis

Goal-seeking analysis

Presenting BI Results
The Power of Visualization
Even though a picture is “worth a thousand
words,” we have to be very careful about just
what we are seeing.
Presenting BI Results:
Real-Time BI
Enables users to employ multi-dimensional
analysis, data mining and decision support
systems to analyze data in real time.
Example:
FIGURE 12.7 1-8000 CONTACTS customer service agent dashboard.

Expert Systems:
Expertise Transfer from Human to Computer
Four Activities Involved:




Knowledge acquisition
Knowledge representation
Knowledge inferencing
Knowledge transfer
Intelligent Agents
Assists in performing repetitive tasks
which use expert systems and fuzzy
logic to create a seemingly intelligent
behavior (aka “Bots”)
Intelligent Agents: Examples

Information Agents

Monitoring-and-Surveillance Agents

User Agents
