CIS640 Analytical Information Processing & Presentation

This course takes a managerial approach to Business Intelligence (BI), and therefore emphasizes the BI applications and implementations. This exposure allows students to truly understand how BI works so they can adopt it in their future managerial roles. The field of BI is evolving from its origins as a support tool for executives to a shared commodity by managers, analysts, and top executives at almost all medium and large companies. Business Intelligence integrates previously independent tools and technologies into a systematic, unified software suite for the most accurate and timely information. Extensive, vivid examples from large corporations, small businesses, and government and not-for-profit agencies from all over the world make difficult concepts more accessible and relevant. International examples of global competition, partnerships, and trade are also provided throughout. These real-world case studies show students the capabilities of BI, its cost and justification, and the innovative ways real corporations are using BI in their operations.
