Certificate AwardedGraduate Certificate in Business Intelligence
Certificate OverviewBusiness Intelligence (BI) enables an organization to take all its capabilities, convert them to knowledge, and get the right information to the right people, at the right time via the right channel. This produces large amounts of information that, when harnessed, can develop new opportunities for a company. Business Intelligence uses technologies, processes and application to analyze internal, structured data and business processes while competitive intelligence gathers, analyzes, and disseminates information. Business Intelligence supports better decision making and can be called a decision support system (DSS). Common functions of Business Intelligence are: reporting; data, text, and process mining; complex event processing; business performance management; benchmarking; and predictive and prescriptive analytics.
The Business Intelligence Certificate allows students to bring value to companies across many sectors that have vast quantities of both structured and unstructured data that requires identification, analysis, and transformation into useful data for business optimization, forecasting, and other business objectives. This certificate provides students with a unique skill set, a valuable credential, and immediate recognition in the IS/IT field. This particular area of information systems is highly sought by businesses in their new hires and existing IS personnel.
