The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to a wide range of information technologies that are generally called Analytics, but until recently have been known by other names including decision support systems, executive information systems and business intelligence. Analytics has become the technology driver of this decade. Large companies like IBM, SAS, Oracle, Microsoft, Teradata and others are creating new organizational units focused on analytics that help businesses become more effective and efficient in their operations. Decision makers are using more computerized tools to support their work. Even consumers are using analytics tools directly or indirectly to make decisions on routine activities such as shopping, healthcare, and entertainment. This book provides a detailed coverage of Business Analytics, Decision Support Systems, Business Intelligence, Big Data and their enabling methods, tools and technologies.
