- OLAP: Online analytical processing
- Digital dashboards
- Data mining
- Data warehousing
- Decision engineering

Except for spreadsheets, these tools are sold as standalone tools, suites of tools, components of ERP systems, or as components of software targeted to a specific industry. The tools are sometimes packaged into data warehouse appliances.
