Business Intelligence and Analytics
Business Intelligence (BI) and analytics tools make it easier to understand data, extract actionable information and make informed, effective business decisions. If the data are hard to use or if information is hidden in spreadsheets, then much of the effort in creating a database application can be lost.
Sometimes, all that management needs is a business intelligence dashboard with simple charts that summarize the information stored in a database. In other cases, data visualization tools such as maps, bubble charts, and other tools with drill down and filtering capabilities provide insights where simple charts do not. Practical Computer Applications (PCA) helps users discover and provide business intelligence through effective data visualizations.

PCA’s goal is to make it easier for your users to grasp business information in an intelligent way. Outliers and trends can be spotted more easily. Information that was hidden in the weeds becomes apparent with data visualization. Overall, business intelligence tools help you make more informed and effective business decisions.
