This course builds on a series of closely related concepts. It provides you with an introduction to the basic and more advanced concepts of business intelligence and discusses the architectures of possible solutions. The content of the course is divided into two main sections. The first section takes a closer look at general principles and explains why business intelligence is necessary from the point of view of top management. Possible solutions are also discussed. Due to the complexity of the subject matter this section focuses on the basic principles of business intelligence itself and not on how it interacts with related areas. The second section takes a more detailed look at the concepts discussed in the first section. Specific aspects of design and architecture are considered and possible Business Information Warehouse solutions presented. This section also explains the fundamental difference between the Data Warehouse and ERP systems and looks at a number of characteristic features (procedures project planning roles and so on) of Business Information Warehouse projects.
