Business Intelligence (BI) is the process of collecting, analyzing and presenting business data to support informed decision-making, often through tools that provide reports, dashboards, and visualizations.

ETL or Extract Transform and Load is the process of collecting the data. SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services), Informatica and NiFi are a few of the different tools used for ETL.

Some of the tools used for analyzing data are Microsoft Excel, Python and Tableau.

Some common tools used for data presentation are Microsoft Excel, Power BI, SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and Tableau.

Data can be presented in a number of ways depending on the what questions the business is trying to answer. A dashboard is a way to quickly glance at data in a chart or graph to get an overall picture of how a system is performing.

Suppose your business has a goal of delivering 20 or more packages a day and taking no longer than 60 minutes. This would be a good candidate for a dashboard where the manager could take a quick glance at a dashboard that shows a red, yellow or green light showing where we are regarding this goal. If they see a yellow or red light, they could notify a colleague that can view more detailed reports using an Excel Pivot Table/Chart, an SSRS or Power BI Report or a Tableau Report. This is just one of many examples of how BI can help your organization answer complex business questions.
