BI是什么？什么是BI？
在数字化时代背景下，商业智能（Business Intelligence，简称BI）成为了信息化热词，我们经常能听到企业说“上BI”、“建设BI系统”、“构建BI决策平台”“BI数据分析”“BI可视化”等内容。
BI是什么？什么是BI？
那么BI到底是什么呢？
商业智能BI可以实现业务流程和业务数据的规范化、流程化、标准化，打通ERP、OA、CRM等不同业务信息系统，整合归纳企业数据，利用数据可视化满足企业不同人群对数据查询、分析和探索的需求，从而为管理和业务提供数据依据和决策支持。
将商业智能BI核心内容进行总结，大致有三条：
第一，商业智能BI是一套完整的由数据仓库、查询报表、数据分析等组成的数据类技术解决方案。
第二，商业智能BI可以将企业不同业务系统（ ERP、OA）中的数据库打通并进行有效的整合。这个打通和整合的过程就包括ETL、取数、数据仓库、指标维度等。
第三，商业智能BI最终利用合适的查询和分析工具快速准确地提供可视化分析以及报表，为企业提供管理决策信息。
如果还是不太理解商业智能BI是什么，商业智能BI其实可以总结划分为不同应用层：
商业智能BI的应用第一层，可视化分析展现层 - 即商业智能BI的需求层，代表用户的分析需求，也就是用户要看什么，要分析什么就在这一层进行展现。
商业智能BI的应用第二层，数据模型层 - 即商业智能BI的数据仓库层，代表数据的分析模型，完成从业务计算规则向数据计算规则的转变。
商业智能BI的应用第三层，数据源层 - 即商业智能BI的数据层，各个业务系统底层数据库的数据通过 ETL 的方式抽取到商业智能BI的数据仓库中完成 ETL 过程，建模分析等等，最终支撑到前端的可视化分析展现。
根据数字化转型网（搜索栏输入：中国数字化转型网，即可了解详情）的资料，BI是企业数字化转型非常重要的一环。数字化转型网有大量的关于BI的资料和方案，比如介绍BI的定义、BI的功能、BI的价值、BI的优秀案例、BI与报表的区别等等知识，找数字化转型资料上数字化转型网。若您对BI数字化感兴趣，想和更多对企业BI数字化的感兴趣的同道者们进行交流，也可关注第五届华东CIO大会&2023数字化转型展，搜索栏输入：华东CIO大会，即可了解报名和参会详情！

What is BI? What is BI?
In the context of the digital era, Business Intelligence (BI) has become an information hot word, and we often hear enterprises say "on BI", "building BI system", "building BI decision platform", "BI data analysis", "BI visualization" and other content.
So what exactly is BI?
BI can realize the normalization, process and standardization of business processes and business data, open up different business information systems such as ERP, OA and CRM, integrate and summarize enterprise data, and use data visualization to meet the needs of different groups of enterprises for data query, analysis and exploration, so as to provide data basis and decision support for management and business.
Summarize the core content of BI business intelligence, and there are roughly three:
First, business intelligence BI is a complete set of data technology solutions composed of data warehouse, query reports, data analysis, etc.
Second, business intelligence BI can open up and effectively integrate databases in different business systems (ERP, OA). This process of opening up and integration includes ETL, fetch, data warehouse, indicator dimension and so on.
Third, business intelligence BI finally uses appropriate query and analysis tools to quickly and accurately provide visual analysis and reports to provide management decision information for enterprises.
If you still do not understand what business intelligence BI is, business intelligence BI can actually be summarized into different application layers:
The first layer of business intelligence BI application, visual analysis display layer - that is, the demand layer of business intelligence BI, representing the user's analysis needs, that is, what the user wants to see and what to analyze is displayed in this layer.
The second layer of BI application, the data model layer - that is, the data warehouse layer of BI business intelligence, represents the analysis model of data, and completes the transformation from business calculation rules to data calculation rules.
The third layer of BI application, the data source layer - that is, the data layer of BI business intelligence, the data of the underlying database of each business system is extracted into the data warehouse of BI business intelligence through ETL to complete the ETL process, modeling analysis and so on, and finally support the visual analysis and display of the front-end.
