Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence Analysts and Specialists are critical to helping businesses analyse the large amounts of information and data that is collected daily. These strategy-minded individuals often play a large part in predicting different aspects of a company, and working closely with leadership and others to help guide and provide information for critical business decisions. Business Intelligence takes the reports and findings of the Data Scientists, Analysis, and Visualization specialists and translates them into actionable findings that help guide a company forward.

As a Business Intelligence specialist, it is critical that you are a good communicator, as you will be working closely with the rest of the data department to understand and generate reports, which will then need to be concisely and accurately presented to executives. Business Intelligence specialists develop methodologies to improve the systems that collect, report, and mine data at their company. They are also responsible for researching and critically analyzing the data that is provided to pave a way forward for their company. If you are someone who can work both independently and in a team, who has an understanding of the business as well as large data sets, and is interested in doing something that critically helps a company move forward, Business Intelligence careers may be right for you.
