Business intelligence tools are a type of application software designed to report, analyze and present data. The tools generally read data that have been previously stored, often, though not necessarily, in a data warehouse or data mart.
Types of business intelligence tools
The key general categories of business intelligence tools are:
- Spreadsheets[1]
- Reporting and querying software: tools that extract, sort, summarize, and present selected data
- OLAP: Online analytical processing
- Digital Dashboards
- Data mining
- Decision engineering
- Process mining
- Business performance management
- Local information systems
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.
