Data Analytics and Business Intelligence
The most successful businesses are those that can leverage data to make sound decisions and get ahead of the competition. Data analytics is precisely that, the science of analysing raw data to draw conclusions from it, to create Business Intelligence.
Data Analytics and Business Intelligence are no different from other types of software development journeys, in the sense that to be successful, the effort should start with a clear understanding of the problem or challenge we are trying to solve, the more specific the better.
Differences Between Data Analytics and BI
Data Analytics and Business Intelligence are “hot” terms in the market nowadays, many times used interchangeably, but although closely related, they are not the same thing. Although more complex than that, we could say Data Analytics is the first part of the journey, taking raw data and converting it into something useful we could draw conclusions from.
Business Intelligence on the other hand, is the broader set of technologies and strategies to enhance business decision-making, it encompasses Data Analytics and its types (descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive) and things like reporting, dashboard development, text mining, complex event processing, and many others.
