Overview

Before we talk about leveraging BI, let's first discuss the definition of Business Intelligence (BI). When a company's raw data is analyzed from its business systems for actionable information, this is completed by Business Intelligence. These tools take this data from sources internally and externally, then present it to decision-makers in an organized manner.

What are the benefits of BI for connected manufacturing?

Multiple formats

Consumes data created in multiple formats across the company to keep everyone informed in a variety of ways, eliminating the disadvantages/drawbacks of information miscommunication.

How can Power BI help?
