Pentaho Business Intelligence Tool

Pentaho Business intelligence (BI) is a set of tools consisting of ETL (Extract, Transform and Loading of Data), Reporting and Dashboarding capabilities. By using Pentaho, you could perform  transformation of raw source of data into useful and also meaningful information for business analysis purposes. Business Intelligence mainly focuses on developing new valuable insights and proper understanding of business performance based on the data and statistical methods. The goal of BI is allowing easy interpretation of large sets of data, identifying new opportunities and implementing an effective strategy based on insights which can provide businesses with a competitive market edge and long-term stability. BI technologies provide current, historical and predictive views of business operations.

Business Analytics makes extensive use of statistical analysis, including predictive modeling, explanatory and fact-based management to drive decision making. BI can also be used to support a wide range of business decisions ranging from strategies to operational decision making.

Pentaho Business Analytics

Pentaho Business Analyticsis an interactive and simple approach that empowers business users to visualize data across different dimensions. It also provides with a number of report generations including pivot reports, ad-hoc reports, analyze reports and sums up all reports in one single dashboard. Basic operating decisions which Pentaho includes are pricing or product positioning. Strategic business decisions which include goals, priorities, and directions at the broadest level are some of the goals that Pentaho also helps us achieve. In all cases, Pentaho BI is most effective when it combines data derived from the market in which a company operates. I.e. external data with data from company sources internal to the business such as operations and financial data. When combined, internal and external data can provide a more complete and analytically perfect picture which, in effect, creates an “intelligence” that cannot be derived from any singular set of data.
