Big BomBastic Brain Flashcards
Hvad er BI?
It værktøjer, der hjælper med at tage datadrevet beslutninger:
”Timely, accurate, high-value, and actionable business insights and the work processes and techologies used to obtain them” s.12
The big 4
Accurate, valuable, timely and actionable
The BI proposition (supply chain)
War Opertional Data → Experts, tools, best practices → Indsights → Conclusions → acitons → Operational results → bedre næste gang! (wisdom)
Hvor kommer BI fra?
ERP systemer ( SAP var en af de første)
Hvornår fejler BI?
- Når der ikke er nok planlægning; fokus på scope og forventninger
- Når der ikke bliver taget aktion på information (støj mellem information og handling)
- Når det indføres i en ikke moden kultur
Hvad er væriden i BI?
At kunne svare på de spørgsmål, det var designet til
Hvad betyder querying
To pull information from a database
BI leverance trekanten (you may pick any two)
“Fast, cheap reliable: You may pick any two” s. 56
Hvad er Drill down?
muligøre en langt større precision i at finde de informationer man efterspørger - som ofte er en af problemerne, at ‘kunne få den rigtige information til de rigtige mennesker’
Hvad er ETL, og hvad gør den?
Extract, transform, load
Get data together, in a singel format
What can OLAP do?
Online Analytical Processing
- Consolidation: gøre data mere abstrakt. Modsat af drill through
- Drilling into: Fordybelse i data
- Computation: Mulighed for udregning
- Pivoting: Mulighed for at se sin data fra forksellige perspektiver
OLTP
Online transaction processing
Relationel databases fordele
fx. i Transactional systems
- Rapidly hurtig
- I store datamængder
- In real time
Attribute
Cell
Measure
Attribute: A descriptive detail. En katogorisering.
Cell: Et sted hvor der er indholdt en værdi fx. B2 indeholder 5439$
Measure: Næsten en fact, udregnings værdi ie. salg, pris
Dashboard typer (ligsom org.)
Tactical,- Operational,- og Strategic Dashboards
Dashbord layout (Aesthetic appeal and interacitivity)
- Navigble
- Appealing and diffring graphics
- Interactivity
- Customizable interface
- Embedded content
- Browser-based capabilities
Reserch katagorier:
- Typer af BI rapporter (opgaver)
- Visualization: Gør critical business information mere klart og meningsfuldt
“What the eye sees, the mind knows” s.102 - Guided analysis: Interaktiv, goal-orinteret BI analyse
- Data mining: At finde nålen i høstakken
Ad hoc query
—People use SQL to make ad hoc queries to a database when the need arises.
This is the opposite of predefined queries, which are performed routinely and known ahead
of time. Tools for ad hoc querying can help you manipulate data for analysis and report
creation. Most business people, however, do not really need ad hoc querying; they do fine with
interactive reporting and data discovery.
Hvad er Dashboards
This BI tool displays numeric and graphical informations on a single display, making it easy for a business person to get information from different sources and customize the appearance. This is often a mashup of other BI styles.
Data mart
A subset of a data warehouse that’s usually oriented to a business group or
process rather than enterprise-wide views. They have value as part of the overall enterprise data
architecture, but can cause problems when they sprout uncontrolled as data silos with their own
data definitions, creating data shadow systems
Data quality (5 C’s)
—Achieved when data embodies the “five Cs”: clean, consistent, conformed, current, and comprehensive.
Data mining
This process analyzes large quantities of data to find patterns such as groups
of records, unusual records, and dependencies. Data mining helps businesses sift through data
to find patterns and relationships they do not yet know, such as “what is the likelihood that a
customer who buys our hammer will also buy our nails?”
Data profiling
An essential part of the data quality process; this involves examining
source system data for anomalies in values, ranges, frequency, relationships, and other
characteristics that could hobble future efforts to analyze it. It enables early detection of
problems.
MDM (Master data management)
—The set of processes used to create and maintain a
consistent view, also referred to as a master list, of key enterprise reference data. This data includes such entities as customers, prospects, suppliers, employees, products, services, assets, and accounts. It also includes the groupings and hierarchies associated with these
entities.
— Sørger for der er en aurtoriativ (den vigtige) (1) sandhed - processer for at man kan validere. Opretholder en standartiseret sandhed gennem hele virksomehden - ved process håndtering
Self service BI
Intuitive tools that allow BI consumers to obtain the information they need without the help of the IT group. People still need the IT group for the hard work of making the data clean, correct, consistent, current, and comprehensive.
