Business Intelligence: The Basics
Business intelligence (BI) is the presentation of business data through reports and dashboards that reveal key statistics about an organisation. BI and analytics work hand-in-hand, because analytics turns data into insights that guide intelligent business decisions. Business intelligence software such as self-service data preparation, data visualisation and advanced analytics can help companies achieve their digital transformation goals.

Trends. Truths. Solutions that give you an edge over the competition. And now that big data has become pervasive in most organisations, data visualisation is key to putting it in perspective.
