How Do You Classify The Different Types of Business Intelligence?

The document discusses five common styles of business intelligence (BI) that have evolved over the past decade: 1) Enterprise Reporting for operational reporting and scorecards/dashboards for executives and information consumers. 2) Cube Analysis for basic OLAP analysis of limited data sets targeted at managers. 3) Ad Hoc Query and Analysis for full investigative querying and OLAP analysis of entire databases for explorers and power users. 4) Statistical Analysis and Data Mining for advanced mathematical and statistical analysis of data for trends, correlations, and projections used by analysts. 5) Alerting and Report Delivery to deliver reports and alerts on schedules or triggered events to large populations of internal and external consumers.

Q 1How do you classify the different types of business Intelligence?

The purpose ofthis paper is to provide a framework for understanding the diverse range ofbusiness intel-ligence (BI) functionality that has evolved in the market over the past 15 years. It is also intended to showthat there is a fundamental shortcoming in most BI tools today because they cannot support the full rangeofBI functionality within a single architecture leading to excessive costs, excessive delays and excessiveuser dissatisfaction. Finally, this paper describes the MicroStrategy architecture as being the only BI archi -tecture capable ofdelivering all ofthe functionality requirements within a single architecture.This paper looks at the historical development ofBI applications and BI technology, and concludes thatfive common Styles ofBI have evolved during the past decade each style representing a certain charac -teristic usage and function by end users. These 5 Styles ofBI are:1. Enterprise Reporting Broadly deployed pixel -perfect report formats for operational reporting and scorecards/dashboards targeted at information consumers and executives.2. Cube Analysis OLAP slice-and-dice analysis oflimited data sets, targeted at managers and oth-ers who need a safe and simple environment for basic data exploration within a limited range ofdata.3. Ad Hoc Q uery and Analysis Full investigative query into all data, as well as automated slice-and-dice OLAP analysis ofthe entire database down to the transaction level ofdetail ifnecessary. Targeted at information explorers and power users.4. Statistical Analysis and Data Mining Full mathematical, financial, and statistical treatmentofdata for purposes ofcorrelation analysis, trend analysis, financial analysis and projections. Targeted at the professional information analysts.5. Alerting and Report Delivery Proactive report delivery and alerting to very large populationsbased on schedules or event triggers in the database. Targeted at very large user populations of information consumers, both internal and external to the enterprise
