To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, business leaders must look at what data is trying to tell us and act rather than merely react.

Many marketers would argue data has always been big, then why this Big Data? That is true, but think about the customer data businesses collected 20 years ago, point of sale transaction data, responses to direct mail campaigns, coupon redemption, etc. Then add this to the customer data collected today i.e. online purchase data, click-through rates, browsing behaviour, social media interactions, mobile device usage, geolocation data, etc. Honestly, there’s no comparison to what we had to what we currently have and to borrow an old phrase, "You ain’t seen nothin' yet."

What is Business Intelligence?

It is a set of tools and systems that can allow a company to gather, store, access and analyse corporate data to aid in decision-making. Generally these systems will illustrate intelligence in the areas of customer profiling, customer support, market research, market segmentation, product profitability, statistical analysis, and inventory and distribution analysis just to name a few.

Business Intelligence(BI) can help consolidate data collated from various sources in the company and helps analyse it at one place. Big Data is used most extensively today with business intelligence and analytics applications that support Hadoop.

LeGarde Burnett's team of Data Analyst and Data scientist have worked on various BI tools such as SAP, Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, Information Builders, MicroStrategy and SAS.
