Data Extraction and Exploration Tools for Business Intelligence

Part of the Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing book series (AISC,volume 1041)

Abstract

Business intelligence (BI) has undergone constant changes currently, due to the increasing emergence of new technologies, which are introduced to improve the processes inherent in decision-making in organizations. However, not all users are familiar with the tools of a typical BI system, so there is a heavy reliance on the assistance of information technology (IT) technicians in the area of data extraction and exploitation (DEE), for ad hoc analyses. In this article, we intend to analyze some DEE tools on the market and their applicability to resolve and help these user’s issues in their work environment. For this purpose, literature survey of these type of users and their requirements was done; six DEE tools were selected, analyzed, and experimented; a topology was defined to evaluate the DEE tools in order to identify the one that best applies to business data extraction and exploitation from data warehouses and data marts, associated with BI system and responds to the requirements of these users.
