Document Summary
Business intelligence systems: information systems that process operational and other data to analyze past performance and to make predictions. Patterns, relationships, and trends identified by bi systems are called business. Uses: entertainment: uses data on consumer media preference to produce tv shows. Identifying changes in purchasing pattern: identify and predict. Jit medical reporting: data mining and reporting; analyze patient records and recommend prescriptions. Data acquisition: process of obtaining, organizing, relating, cataloguing source data. Bi analysis: process of creating bi (reporting, data mining, bigdata) Publish results: process of delivering bi to the knowledge workers who need it: push publishing: delivers bi to users without request (schedule, event, pull publishing: requires user to request bi result. Marts: security and control: error can disrupt company operations, not structured for bi analysis (fast and reliable transaction processing, reduce system performance: requires considerable processing.
