Your company is currently working in Assumed Domain for 2 years. For a new, young company, the competition in the market is very high. Therefore, the Board of Director has decided to apply Business Intelligence to improve the company business process by making better decisions. The Board of Directors assigns a small group including you in Research Development Department to study business intelligence to apply for the company in the coming years. You need to research about business processes and decision support processes in the company and identify the types of data (unstructured, semistructured or structured) generated by these processes with examples. You also need to research about current software used in the business process or decision support process and evaluate these usages (benefits and drawbacks). Next you need to understand the types of support for decisionmaking at different levels (operational, tactical and strategic) within the company and study which business intelligence features can help on that types of support. Study the information systems or technologies (of BI) can be used in this case, compare and contrast them to conclude which should be used. Your group needs to present the research results to the board in a presentation of 30 minutes.

What is Business Intelligence?
BI (Business Intelligences) is a series of rules, ideas, and ideas for changing the data of the real world with the idea of success Business partners have a need for help
The dynamics will continue to reach the business guidelines and be effective and relevant in the business Be sure to make the decision based on the actual situation using the method of changing the format
Real-time BI customers benefit from a wide range of products, creating a wide range of clothes, a lot of clothes,
a lot of clothes, and what you believe For companies and businesses
Techniques associated with BI
Microsoft - Power BI
Microsoft, Bill Gate's renowned software company with Windows operating systems, has also developed Power BI systems for handling data display almost for free, Microsoft Power BI continues to expand and adds many new features almost every month
Microsoft has built Power BI with 2 types:
Web version
Version on personal computer, named Microsoft Power BI Personal
Tableau
The tableau deskop tool is a fully developed name in the data analysis and display software market Because
of this, Tableau desktop has become a symbol, symbolically meaningful for analyzing and visualizing data
Trang 6Tool tableau deskop Includes 3 main products:
Software to build display graphs - Tableau desktop
Server sharing data tables - Tableau server
Online data sharing chart system - Tableau online
Qlik
Software analysis data display Qlik Sense Enterprise Server is a fairly new product but very fast development in the technology industry displays graphs and data analysis Qlik has entered the group of leading software in terms of 2 vision and excellence in product quality
Qlik Sense Enterprise Server can run on a personal computer or online virtual machine platform
Qlik Sense Enterprise Server can serve the needs of the company from small to medium excellent
Main components of a BI system:
Data sources: raw data from different sources such as HRM, CRM, e-commerce website,
Data warehousing: is the organization's long-term data store
Integrating Server: is responsible for operating the ETL tool to convert data from Data Sources to Data Warehouse
Analysis Server: where to receive input data to return results based on predefined business knowledge
The Reporting Server: executes reports with output received from Analysis Server
Data Mining: is the process of extracting processed data information, this stage is quite important!
Data Presentation: reports, charts from the data mining process created from here
Examples of Business Intelligence:
Our company, NESTLÉ Every day we touch billions of lives We want to help shape a better and
healthier world for individuals and families, for our communities and for the planet Our stories take a
deeper look at how NESTLÉ is making a difference And my company operates for more than 150 years In order to compete in the industry, I must have a suitable business strategy to help NESTLÉ
company make better decisions in the future It helps the branch manager determine which customers
Trang 7and analyze each part of the company And from that data, the director will decide the company's competitive position in different markets By analyzing these trends year by year, month by month, and day by day, the management team will give discounts to Food & Brand
And I will use Power BI to authenticate, I will use NESTLÉ data to assess which items are the hottest
Figure 1: NESTLÉ business chart From the above values, I will see clearly that what items are most weak to people, how to evaluate people about the item, how much positive reviews are
Trang 8When I want any item that is most interested For example, I want to see how much Blouses stands in the total number of items And how much is it worth when the reviews are positive We can customize many tools and customize our design
P4 Design a business intelligence tool, application or interface that can perform a specific task to support problem-solving or decision-making at an advanced level & M3 Customise the design to ensure that it
is user friendly and has afunctional interface
Trang 9 Extract file excel into power BI
To push data from Excel File into, at the File Menu, We choose Get Data => Excel For Data Source is File Excel, PowerBI has only one type of data connection: Import the entire Data Source content into the Desktop PowerBI
Figure 2: Extract file excel
Select the downloaded Excel File, click Open
Figure 3:Open to open file
Trang 10Select the data sheet to use, click Load and wait a moment for the data to be loaded into PowerBI
Figure 4:Load to import file
In the left toolbar, go to the Data section to see the data imported
Trang 11Figure 5:See the data imported
In this example, we will create a simple chart showing the Total Revenue rating
We switch to the Report section In the right toolbar, in the Visualizations section, select Clustered Column Chart A blank chart was created
Trang 12Figure 6:Clustered Column Chart
In Fields, we choose Rating, Value is Total Revenue and Region PowerBI will create a corresponding chart
Trang 13Figure 7: Clustered column chart
An interesting point of PowerBi is that we can interact with the Chart created We can left click on each color, corresponding to each product to highlight the information of just one selected product
Trang 14 Data View & Relationship View in BI
Data View helps you observe, explore and understand specific data in the database It is different when you look at tables, columns (Column) and data in Query Editor With Data View, you observe the data after it has been uploaded and have created data constraints (Relationship)
When you design data, sometimes you need to observe the actual results in tables and columns, exactly to the actual data in each line This is absolutely necessary when creating columns that contain new data after calculating or defining each column data type
Trang 15Figure 8:Data View
1 Data View Icon: Select to switch to data view
2 Data Grid: Displays data (all rows and columns) of the selected table Note: If you observe a gray
column, it is the hidden columns in Report View You can right-click that column to change options
3 Modeling Ribbon - Manage data constraints (relationship), create calculations, change data types,
format (data types) for each column
4 Search: Search for tables or columns in your project
5 Field List: Select the table and column to view in the Data Grid
Relationship View
Show all tables (Table), columns (Column) and data relationships (Relationship) This section is useful when you design complex databases or have multiple relationships between tables in the database
Trang 16Figure 9:Relationship
Using Line chart in BI
Step 1: Prepare the data file
Step 2: Select the icon
Trang 17Figure 10:Line chart Step 3: Drag and drop the values to be displayed into the properties
Axis: Region, depending on your reporting purposes
Value: Total Revenue
Just as the line chart shows by the lines, shows us the increase and decrease of revenue
Trang 18Figure 11:Line chart
In this chart, I do not use the Legend attribute because it will not work to show your chart is lively or even
a bit confusing Note: If you combine with the Drill Down feature, you will get the effect of this attribute However, I will still try to use this attribute so that you can better visualize: I drag and drop the Provider name on both Axis and Legend properties, as you can see, we have 5 suppliers so there will be 5 corresponding points For a small number, you can clearly see each point (small dot) that corresponds to the supplier, but if you have 100 suppliers, can you still distinguish each supplier? ! See the picture below:
Trang 19Figure 12:Line chart Remember, I just tried drawing so you could imagine why I didn't use the Legend attribute in this case However, in the following case, you can use:
Trang 20Figure 13:Completed line chart However, if there are too many product groups, you will be slightly confused So with this type of chart, it
is not always possible to use Legend attribute, it should be used only when the data shows little
From the above methods, I will now design myself with the company's data NESTLÉ
This is a data file from the F&B company, looking at the data we see is the Item type of each product, Country, Order Date, Region, Sales Chanel, Review test is my feeling when buying something in this company, rating , Total Cost, Total Profit, Total Revenue, And we will use power BI to look at reviews, charts, and power BI to see what positive reviews are for (Total Revenue)?

P5 Discuss how business intelligence tools can contribute to effective decision-making
Introduction: BI simply says it is a software tool used by people to analyze an organization's raw data to make smart decisions for business and business success BI is that it includes data mining, online analytics processing, queries and reports The purpose of a smart business system is to provide entrepreneurs with tools and methods that enable them to make effective and Timely decision
Effective decisions
Applying sophisticated analytical methods allows decision makers to rely on more reliable information and knowledge Thus, they can make better decisions, set appropriate policies and achieve their goal more effectively Indeed, the shift to formal annalytical methods forces decision maker to clearly describe both
Trang 22criteria for evaluating alternatives Futher in-depth testing and subsequent thinking lead to deeper awareness and a better understanding of the basic logic of decision making
Timely Decisions
Enterprises operate in economic environments characterized by growing levels of opposition and high vitality As a consequence, the ability to quickly react to the actions of participants and to new market conditions is a critical factor in the success or even the survival of a company
Figure 7 demonstrates the major benefits that a given organization may draw from the acceptance of a business intelligence system When facing problems such as those described in decision makers ask themselves a series of questions and develop thecorresponding analysis Hence, they examine and compare several options, selecting among them the best decision, given the conditions at hand
If decision makers can rely on a business intelligence system facilitating their activity, we can expect that the overall quality of the decision-making process will be greatly improved With the help of mathematical models and algorithms, it is actually possible to analyze a larger number of alternative actions, achieve more accurate conclusions and reach effective and timely decisions We may therefore conclude that the major advantage deriving from the adoption of a business intelligence system is found in the increased effectiveness of the decision-making process
