Business Intelligence (BI) means collection, integration, analysis and presentation of business information by using related technologies and applications in order to support business analysis and decision making. Business analysis (BA) is a prerequisite for BI.
The figure below illustrates the role of BI in respect of business analysis and decision making.
An on-line workshop series on business analysis and business intelligence has been arranged in the scope of the eHealth project. The business analysis part with the related lecture material has been introduced here. The recordings and other material of the BI part can be found below.
BI in healthcare – an extremely difficult challenge by MD&MBA Martti Kulvik
Finding the relevant data from the data sources is the first task in BI. Relevant means here that it has to describe the measures defined in the BA phase. The data needs to be transformed and modelled to apply to the analysis. Information security is important in all phases. The recordings as well as the materials of the lectures covering these topics can be found below.

HFBI Process and Data sources by Dr. Auvo Finne
Data modelling, cleaning, transformations and ETL by Dr. Auvo Finne
Technical platform and tools by Dr. Auvo Finne
Legal and regulatory framework by Prof. Pirkko Nykänen
Presentation and excercises by Dr. Auvo Finne
Experimental analysis precedes the implementation of the final BI application or system, although it may already have preliminary impacts on the direction of the operation, too. It is possible to return from the experimental analysis to picking up data, transforming and modelling. It can be repeated until the desired result is achieved.
The lecture material and recordings considering the analytics are available below.
