step in demystifying BI so thank you for providing that! (small note: add spreadmart in your dictionary )

@Fernando – I agree with your “gotten lost” and jargon remark. I think the reason is the high number of pain points in the industry (driving numerous different approaches and ensuing panic to address/consume them) and the fact that KISS is often lost on folks in this business :) – It’s no different in the software development industry.

I might also suggest a very clear/no-nonsense book for DW beginners called Data Warehousing for Dummies (yes I’m serious) written by industry veteran Tom Hammergren – I have no business connection to Tom. He’s just a good buddy of mine and a source of BI insight I’ve always tapped when I wanted to get “the real deal”.

Great blog.
J.

I really like the article – short, succinct, and it gets to the main business point of BI, instead of using industry jargon. That’s what has gotten lost lately in all the talk of new types of BI technologies and different types of dashboards, analytics, SaaS vs. on-premise, etc.

BI exists for a reason: to help you run your business more efficiently and profitably, and to grow your business without going broke.

Well done Pinal!

One of the next articles in this series would be to give an intro to the methodoligies of Kimball and Inmon who are considered as the fathers of data warehousing.
