Contents

Today, almost all business processes are supported by computer systems, so that large amounts of detailed data are generated in companies. The goal of business intelligence is to structure this data appropriately and make it available to decision makers in the form of standardized reports or complex analysis results. With such information, managers can both monitor the fulfillment of predefined goals and receive impetus for new business opportunities. Selected methods and tools are presented in the lecture, which participants can then try out and learn for themselves in the exercise.


Qualification Goals

Students will be able to analyze data from a database or data warehouse using widely available software tools to solve business problems. This includes, for example, the determination of key figures for the management and control of financial, marketing, sales, procurement or production processes.
