We will look at various software tools organizations use to implement business intelligence systems throughout the course. As an introduction to these tools, play the video describing Microsoft Power BI, a very popular and widely used system. Think about businesses that you are familiar with. How could you see a tool like this being used in those businesses? What kind of strategic advantage might a tool like this provide? Also, note that a data analysis and presentation tool like this is only as good as the available data. In the next module of the course, we will look in more detail at what data is available to organizations, how that data is organized, and how it can be mined and extracted for use in a BI system.
