Frequently Asked Questions

What is Business Intelligence (BI) and why is it important?
Business Intelligence (BI) is a technology-driven process that involves the collection, integration, analysis, and presentation of business information. The goal of BI is to support better business decision making. Thus, BI allows companies to access and analyze data sets and present actionable information to aid executives, managers, and other corporate end users make informed business decisions. It's important because it helps businesses convert raw data into meaningful and useful information for business analysis purposes, thereby leading to effective strategic and tactical business decisions.
What is the role of a BI Architect?
A Business Intelligence (BI) Architect is a professional who is responsible for designing, developing, and implementing BI platforms in an organization. They work closely with clients and IT team members to understand and develop business intelligence and data warehousing solutions. Responsibilities often include defining overall BI architecture standards and best practices, designing data models, creating and implementing efficient and secure databases, and designing and developing data analytics reports.
What is SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)?
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a component of the Microsoft SQL Server database software used for performing a broad range of data migration tasks. SSIS is a platform for data integration and workflow applications. It features a data warehousing tool used for data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). The tool may also be used to automate updates of analytical data or perform data cleansing operations.
What is Extract, Transform, Load (ETL)?
Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) is a data integration process that involves extracting data from outside sources, transforming it to fit business needs (which can include quality levels), then loading it into an end target database or data warehouse. ETL is particularly important in data warehousing because it allows businesses to gather data from multiple sources into one comprehensive database for better decision-making.
What skills are required to become a Business Intelligence (BI) professional?
To become a successful Business Intelligence (BI) professional, one needs a mix of technical and soft skills. These include:
  • Proficiency with BI technologies and software, such as Microsoft SQL Server, SSIS, and other BI tools.
