Business intelligence and reporting

Turning data into decisions.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Business intelligence (BI) gathers data from many systems to analyse performance.
  2. A data warehouse stores cleaned, historical data for analysis, separate from daily systems.
  3. ETL means extract, transform and load data into the warehouse.
  4. Dashboards show key performance indicators (KPIs) at a glance.
  5. Tools include Power BI, Tableau, Looker and Excel.
💡 Real-life example: Like a cricket scorecard: ball-by-ball data becomes run rate, partnerships and charts that help the captain decide.
