Business Intelligence is all about data and a Database is a way of organizing data in a meaningful way.
A database is a structured collection of tables composed of rows and columns, designed for efficient storage and management of data. For optimal data organization, we compile the information into a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS).
Let us use the restaurant analogy again. We could have a table of customers where each customer had their own customer id. We could have another table of food items, each with ’t’s own food id. We can now link customer one with food items 2 and 4. Specific SQL statements can be written to query customer orders and determine which food items are ordered by each customer. Then we can use these statements for data analysis and data visualization.
The three most popular RDBMS systems in popularity are Oracle, Microsoft SQL and My-SQL. Microsoft Access offers similar features but at a lower cost, as part of the Microsoft Office Suite. We specialize in all these systems.
We can manage your data in one of our systems, thereby reducing your overhead costs and maintenance efforts.
