The Building Blocks of Business Intelligence

The building blocks of Business Intelligence (BI) are the fundamental components that help organizations make informed decisions. They include data collection (gathering facts and figures), data storage (organizing data in databases), data analysis (examining data to find patterns), reporting tools (creating visual reports and summaries), and dashboards (interactive displays for quick insights). Together, these elements enable businesses to convert raw data into meaningful insights, support strategic decisions, improve operational efficiency, and gain competitive advantage—all in a clear, cohesive manner.
