Chapter 60. BI solution development design considerations
Every organization makes decisions necessary to keep its business functioning efficiently and profitably. These decisions can be categorized into one of three types: strategic (long term), tactical (short term), and operational (day to day). One of the factors that influences decision making is the analysis and measurement of business performance. Business intelligence (BI) solutions cater to business analysts and stakeholders with information related to performance measurement, predictive analysis, data discovery, and more. Developing a BI solution depends on the kind of decision support data that stakeholders require for their decision making. In this chapter, BI solution development using the Microsoft business intelligence technology stack is discussed, with special emphasis on architectural design considerations.
