Business Intelligence (Analytics)
A set of theories, methodologies, processes, architectures, and technologies that transform raw data into meaningful and useful information for business purposes.
WWW.SISENSE.COM
This is a Report (= a query)
WWW.SISENSE.COM
This is a Dashboard (= several queries)
WWW.SISENSE.COM
…and BI/Analytics is:
The ability to create a new report, dashboard or just get a new analytic question answered in real-time, or
at least in-time.

What is Big Data?
A collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-
hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications
Due to its technical nature, the same challenges arise in Analytics at much lower volumes than
what is traditionally considered Big Data.
WWW.SISENSE.COM
..so Big Data Analytics is: The same as ‘Small Data’ Analytics, only with the
added challenges (and potential) of large datasets
(~50M records or 50GB size, or more)
Challenges, such as:
• Data storage and management
• De-centralized/multi-server architectures
• Performance bottlenecks, poor responsiveness
• Increasing hardware requirements

Approaches to The Challenge
1. Project-Specific:
– The development of a specific dashboard/report
– An isolated initiative, with no forward-looking implications from the prospect’s perspective
2. Solution-Oriented:
– The development of a specific dashboard/report, with future ones (known or unknown) in mind

E.K.G: Solution-Oriented vs. Project- Specific

BI/Analytics E.K.G
Time
New Report New Report
The rate at which new reports are introduced into critical processes should increase over-time, due to: • Completed integration, customization & adaptation • Time for training to sink in • Adoption (more users generating reports)
New Report = Answer To New Question = New Insight

Data Warehouse
• Clean and accurate data recognized as the only real business ‘truth’
• A central repository of data which is created by integrating data from one or more disparate sources
• Stores current as well as historical data

Owner: IT or Business
DW
• The data is in its detailed form (raw data) • The data is located in multiple places • The data may be dirty (i.e. entry-errors) • The data is accessible to whoever owns
the application/database • The data is not centralized
With an existing Data Warehouse Without an existing Data Warehouse
• The data is in its detailed form (raw data) • The data clean (was already processed) • The data is usually only directly accessible to IT • The data is centralized (single version)
