BI systems are information systems that process operational and other data to identify patterns, relationships, and trends for use by business professionals and other knowledge workers.
Five standard IS components are present in BI systems: hardware, software, data, procedures, and people.
The boundaries of BI systems are blurry.

Using Business Intelligence to Find Candidate Parts for 3D Printing
Q3-1 How do organizations use business intelligence (B I) systems?
Identify parts that might qualify.
Provided by vendors who make part design files available for sale
Purchased by larger customers
Frequently ordered parts
Ordered in small quantities
Use part weight and price surrogates for simplicity.
Copyright © 2022, 2020, 2018, Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
As shown in the next slide, the sales data is extracted from its IS department and stored it in Microsoft Access

Judging just by the results, there seems to be little revenue potential in selling designs for these parts.
It is possible they chose the wrong criteria.
Might find themselves changing criteria until they obtain a result they want, which results in a very biased study.
Importance of the human component of an IS: Business intelligence is only as intelligent as the people creating it!

Using Data Warehouses and Data Marts to Acquire Data
Q3-2 How do organizations use data warehouses and data marts to acquire data?
Functions of a data warehouse
Obtain data
Cleanse data
Organize and relate data
Catalog data
Copyright © 2022, 2020, 2018, Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
For a small organization, the extraction may be as simple as an Access database. Larger organizations, however, typically create and staff a group of people who manage and run a data
warehouse, which is a facility for managing an organization’s BI data.

This figure shows the components of a data warehouse. Programs read operational and other data and extract, clean, and prepare that data for BI processing.
An organization might use Oracle for its operational processing but use SQL Server for its data warehouse. Other organizations use SQL Server for operational processing but use DBMSs from statistical package vendors such as SAS or SPSS in the data warehouse.

The data analysts who work with a data warehouse are experts at data management, data cleaning, data transformation, data relationships, and the like. However, they are not usually experts in each business function.
A data mart is a subset of a data warehouse. A data mart addresses a particular component or functional area of the business.

Copyright © 2022, 2020, 2018, Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
This figure summarizes the goals and characteristics of three fundamental types of BI analysis. In general, reporting analyses are used to create information about past performance, whereas data mining is used primarily for classifying and predicting.

Figure 3-15 Example Grocery Sales O L A P Report
Q3-3 What are three techniques for processing B I data?
Copyright © 2022, 2020, 2018, Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Online analytical processing (OLAP) is more generic than RFM and provides the ability to sum, count, average, and perform other simple arithmetic operations on groups of data.
An OLAP report has measures and dimensions.
A measure is the data item of interest. It is the item that is to be summed or averaged or otherwise processed in the OLAP report. Total sales, average sales, and average cost are examples of measures.
A dimension is a characteristic of a measure. Purchase date, customer type, customer location, and sales region are all examples of dimensions.

Figure 3-16 Example of Expanded Grocery Sales O L A P Report
Q3-3 What are three techniques for processing B I data?
Copyright © 2022, 2020, 2018, Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
OLAP reports are dynamic and the viewer of the report can change the report’s format.
This figure shows such an alteration. The user added another dimension, Store Country (nested row under Product Family) and Store State (nested row under Store Country), to the horizontal display. Product-family sales are now broken out by store location

Drilling down into data means to further divide the data into more detail.
This figure shows that the user has drilled down into the stores located in California; the OLAP report now shows sales data for the four cities in California that have stores

To find patterns and relationships among data, more user-friendly processes have been developed to allow users to visually analyze and explore data. This process is called data discovery. Data visualization, or the graphical representation of data, allows users to quickly understand complex data.
22
Unsupervised Data Mining
Q3-3 What are three techniques for processing B I data?
Does not use a priori hypothesis or model
Findings obtained solely by data analysis
Hypothesized model created to explain patterns found
Example: Cluster analysis
Copyright © 2022, 2020, 2018, Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Cluster analysis: Statistical technique to identify groups of entities with similar characteristics; used to find groups of similar customers from customer order and demographic data.
23
Supervised Data Mining
Q3-3 What are three techniques for processing B I data?
Uses a priori model
Prediction, such as regression analysis
Ex: CellPhoneWeekendMinutes

24
Using Big Data Applications
Q3-3 What are three techniques for processing B I data?

Rapid velocity – generated rapidly
Great variety
Structured data, free-form text, log files, graphics, audio, and video
Copyright © 2022, 2020, 2018, Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Big Data is a term used to describe data collections that are characterized by huge volume, rapid velocity, and great variety.
A data set containing all Google searches in the United States on a given day is Big Data in size.

Q3-4 What are the alternatives for publishing B I?
Copyright © 2022, 2020, 2018, Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
A BI server is a Web server application that is purpose-built for the publishing of business intelligence and provides two major functions: management and delivery.
The management function maintains metadata about the authorized allocation of BI results to users and tracks what results are available, which users are authorized to view those results, and the schedule upon which the results are provided to the authorized users.
The delivery function uses metadata to determine what results to send to which users, on which schedule, and can be delivered to “any” device.

How Will A I Affect You?
Q3-6 How will A I and automation affect organizations?
By 2030, 30% to 40% of work performing routine physical and mental tasks could be taken out of the current workforce
Workers will be replaced by robots with I Qs higher than 90% of the U.S. population
Unwanted dirty jobs will be done by AI and automation

Copyright © 2022, 2020, 2018, Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
There are typically two distinct reactions to AI.
The first reaction is from the group of people who see AI as an incredible opportunity. They get excited about the gains in productivity, profitability, and competitive advantages.
The second reaction is from the group of people who see AI as a serious threat. They’re worried about their jobs and are concerned about what happens if they get replaced by a machine or an AI bot.

Q. What attracted you to this field?
A. “My path to this field is unlike most others in similar positions. I started out as an accountant and even received a Master’s in Taxation from Weber State University. During my 5-year stint in the accounting industry I learned a lot about myself and my career goals. I did not necessarily love the daily work and monotony of accounting, but I loved the side of my job where I was able to analyze data.”
