Certified Business Intelligence Expert

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) 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.
New methods and tools - which can intelligently and (semi-)automatically transform data into information and synthesize knowledge - are desperately needed. In the advent of these technological developments, the importance of Business Intelligence (BI) is growing. As a manager, this program allows you to develop a comprehensive perspective of business decisions and, thus, increase your organizations performance.
