From Data to Information
From Information to Knowledge
During the last decade, capabilities to both generate and collect data and information have seen an explosive growth. Advances in business data collection (e.g., from finance, retail and production devices) have generated a flood of data and information. Advances in data storage technologies with faster, higher capacity and cheaper storage devices, better database management systems and data warehousing technology have enabled us to collect "mountains" of stored data. Such volumes of data and information clearly overwhelm the traditional manual methods of data analysis, such as spreadsheets, ad-hoc queries, or simple diagrams. Thus, new methods and tools - that can intelligently and (semi-)automatically transform data into information and, furthermore, synthesize knowledge - are needed. In the advent of these technological developments, the importance of Business Intelligence (BI) is growing.
The progress and success of many organizations depend to a large extent on how well and how timely they are able to gain insight into these vast amounts and different kinds of collected data, and eventually find essential, sometimes hidden information therein. This academic program will help you to develop a comprehensive perspective of Business Intelligence.
