Business Intelligence and Data Mining

"Business Intelligence" is a term that means many things, and can vary from industry to industry. There are, however, some underlying principles and practices that have emerged in our modern world of commerce that are universal in their purpose, if not their application. Data mining is one such idea that has been revolutionizing the way businesses view their processes, sales, clients/customers and business plans for more than a decade.

Develop Business Intelligence with Data Mining
As the name suggests, the practice of data mining involves the collection, analysis and integration of data. The problem that many companies face is not in gathering the data, but rather in gathering the right data and interpreting it correctly. Data mining is almost all about process and only a little about clever algorithms. When the data mining process is not well understood, all the clever techniques and algorithms get applied to the wrong data, in the wrong ways, and yield the wrong results.

The most common mistake that companies make when trying to develop business intelligence via data mining is placing too strong of a focus on the intricate mathematical algorithms without properly establishing a process and framework into which the collected data can be applied. The integrity of data and its relational value is only preserved when the data itself is handled in a reliable, consistent and repeatable process, every single time.
