What is Business Intelligence
According to traditional definitions, 'Business Intelligence' (BI) involves a set of strategies, technologies, and tools used by businesses to analyze data. BI technologies are intended to provide insights into past, present, and future business activities by integrating and examining data from various sources, including both structured and unstructured formats. At The Data Lab, our perspective on BI Consulting emphasizes that while the fundamental aspect of BI is accessing and analyzing data, the real advantage lies in the ability to extract actionable insights and make well-informed business decisions from that data. We believe this understanding captures the true essence of what BI solutions should offer.
