What is Business Intelligence?
“Business intelligence is the process of
transforming data into information and
through discovery transforming that
information into knowledge.”
Gartner Group
Business Intelligence
The purpose of business intelligence is to
convert the volume of data into value
for the end users.

Enterprise business intelligence (EBI) toolsets:
- Web-enabled query, reporting, and
analysis tool that runs on a robust
application server
- EBI toolset tightly integrates query,
reporting, and analysis capabilities within a
single tool
- Shares a common look and feel
Business portals:
- EBI toolset with a Yahoo-like user interface
- Flexible repository handles structured and
unstructured data objects.
Data Mining Tools


Identify patterns and relationships in data
that are often useful for building models that
aid decision making or predict behavior
Data mining uses technologies such as neural
networks, rule induction, and clustering to
discover relationships in data and make
predictions that are hidden, not apparent, or
too complex to be extracted using statistical
techniques.
Analytical Applications


Packaged analytical application has a predefined:
- Extraction feeds and transformation
routines for a specific data source
- Data model, application-specific
report templates, and a custom enduser interface.
Custom analytic applications are workbenches that
enable developers to quickly create analytic
applications from coarse-grained components,
including user interface widgets, data access and
analysis components, and report layouts.
Definition of Data Mining
“ Data mining is the exploration and analysis of
large quantities of data in order to discover
meaningful patterns, trends, relationships,
and rules. ”
Data mining is also known as:
 Knowledge discovery
 Data surfing
 Data harvesting
Use of Data Mining





Customer profiling
Market segmentation
Buying pattern affinities
Database marketing
Credit scoring and risk analysis
Functions of Data Mining







Discovers facts and data relationships
Finds patterns
Determines rules
Retains and reuse rules
Presents information to users
May take many hours
Requires knowledgeable people to analyze
the results
Comparing DSS and Data
Mining Queries


DSS queries:
- Based on prior knowledge and
assumptions
- User-driven
Data mining queries:
- Require domain-specific knowledge
to interpret data
- User-guided

Which items are purchased in a retail
store at the same time?
Sequential Patterns
What is the likelihood that a customer will
buy a product next month, if he buys a
related item today?
Classifications
Determine customers’ buying patterns
and then find other customers with
similar attributes that may be targeted for
a marketing campaign.
Modeling
Use factors, such as location, number of
bedrooms, and square footage, to
Determine the market value of a property
