Business Intelligence: Web and Social Media Analytics ... NOVINKA

Business intelligence and Analytics (BI) is a broad category of applications and technologies for gathering, storing, analyzing, and providing access to data to help enterprise users make better business decisions. BI applications include the activities of decision support, query and reporting, online analytical processing (OLAP), statistical analysis, forecasting, network analysis, and data mining.

There are two major forces driving the interest and growth in Business Intelligence: an explosion in the amount and variety of data being generated on the internet, and the emergence of social media technologies. Data is becoming strategically critical to enterprises of any size and type. Fueled by new web technologies, companies such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN are routinely generating what is known as BIG DATA i.e. upwards of 20 Petabytes of data each day – a petabyte is one million gigabytes or approximately 6 billion digital photos or 20 million four-drawer filing cabinets filled with text. Emerging Social Media sites and technologies such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, GroupOn, Flickr, Pinterest, and Foursquare are further causing an explosion in data.

Corporate governance deals with the ways capital providers ensure that they receive an adequate return on their investment.
