Introduction

Businesses need business intelligence (BI) tools to gather, analyze, and disseminate information in today's competitive, knowledge-based economy so that knowledge workers can make wise decisions. The capacity for managers to obtain “actionable data”—information that can be utilized to present performance measures, comprehend client behavior, and forecast market trends in “real-time”—is essential given how quickly a global economy runs. Applications for business intelligence help with tasks including financial analysis, score carding, data mining, data warehousing, and decision assistance. Producing something helpful to fulfill needs, secure a living, and better the world is what business is all about Documentation of business actions is done electronically or on paper (Mohammad, 2023). As a result, more data about consumer responses and the sector is accessible. Using specialized tools and techniques, this data may be analyzed and mined to find patterns and intelligence that describe how the organization runs. The company may then be encouraged to implement these ideas, which will help it develop and become more adept at satisfying customer requests. The cycle never ends. Business intelligence, which applies to all industries, includes methods and tools for gathering, analyzing, and visualizing data to support executive decision-making. Data mining uses statistical and machine learning techniques to build decision-making models from unstructured data (Nguyen, 2023). The current war against any cyber-attack has increased the need for information security professionals at all levels of any organization. Processing incoming data as sets of information so becomes increasingly important. Additionally, the data will frequently be ambiguous and have both quantitative and qualitative components (Bharadiya, 2022). For these reasons, it is crucial to incorporate subjective judgment, human subjectivity, and imprecision into standard decision-making systems. These authors have adopted an unconventional strategy to improve this decision-making process by implementing a newly emerging technology known as a neural network as part of the infrastructure that will enable artificial intelligence systems to replace humans in order to meet the demand for real-time decision making. By incorporating a newly emerging technology known as a neural network as part of the infrastructure that will allow artificial intelligence systems to replace humans in order to meet the demand for real-time decision making, these authors have adopted an unconventional approach to enhance this decision-making process (Nwanakwaugwu, 2023). Better business decision-making is supported by business intelligence. In essence, Business Intelligence systems are Decision Support Systems (DSS) that are data-driven. Executive information systems, report and query tools, and briefing books are occasionally used interchangeably with business intelligence (Waliszewski, 2020).

Industrial sectors are characterized by vast and diverse data streams emanating from machinery, sensors, supply chains, and operational processes. Big Data Analytics provides the infrastructure, algorithms, and tools necessary to process, analyze, and derive actionable insights from this voluminous and complex data. Within BI frameworks, Big Data Analytics enhances decision-making by facilitating real-time monitoring of production lines, predictive maintenance of equipment, and optimized resource allocation. It enables industries to uncover patterns, trends, and correlations that might be imperceptible through traditional analytics methods. Moreover, by leveraging advanced machine learning and AI techniques, Big Data Analytics empowers organizations to forecast market trends, identify potential risks, and seize emerging opportunities. In essence, the integration of Big Data Analytics into BI frameworks for industrial applications catalyzes operational efficiencies, fosters innovation, and ensures competitiveness in an increasingly data-driven landscape (Pal, 2023).

Key Terms in this Chapter

Exponential Business Growth: Exponential business growth signifies a rapid and sustained increase in a company’s revenue, market share, or profitability over a relatively short period. It often involves significant expansion and scaling of operations.

AI (Artificial Intelligence): AI is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems. It involves tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. In the context of BI, AI is employed to analyze data, predict outcomes, and generate actionable insights.

Synergy: Synergy refers to the combined or cooperative effect of AI and Business Intelligence (BI), where their integration produces results greater than the sum of their individual capabilities. It represents the synergy achieved by leveraging AI’s predictive and analytical abilities within the framework of BI for enhanced decision-making.

Business Intelligence (BI): BI refers to the technologies, processes, and strategies used to collect, analyze, and present business data for informed decision-making. It encompasses tools, software, and practices that transform raw data into meaningful insights.

Data-Driven Decision-Making: Data-driven decision-making is the practice of basing business decisions on empirical evidence and data analysis rather than intuition or gut feeling. It involves using data to inform and validate strategic choices.

Predictive Analytics: Predictive analytics is the process of using historical data and statistical algorithms to forecast future trends, behaviors, or outcomes. In the context of BI, it involves AI-driven models for predicting various aspects of business operations.
