Artificial Intelligence’s Influence on Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence

Introduction

Communications, business, and other aspects of our daily lives have been altered by the current wave of Artificial Intelligence (AI) (Bontis et al., 2019). One of the areas where AI is having a significant impact is data warehousing and business intelligence. These are very important fields for any businesses that involve collecting, storing, and analyzing large amounts of data for decision-making.

What is Data Warehousing?

Data warehousing integrates information from different sources into one central location after cleaning. This information can henceforth be used in analyses and reports made thereafter. In this case, think about all the records stored by an organization in a big library. Information contained therein has to be well organized to allow easy access for anyone looking for any type of information.

What is Business Intelligence?

Business intelligence refers to the use of data analysis techniques within organizations to improve decision-making processes (Bontis et al., 2019). It utilizes various tools and methodologies that convert raw data into meaningful insights among many other objectives. Take the instance where a company’s BI process reveals that they need to improve sales for certain items or drop some products because they are not profitable.
