Phases of BI :-

IT Dependent ---- Analyst ----- End users

In earlier days, in order to get the clean data from raw data , companies were
dependent on IT to do the work for them.
In order to understand the clean data, companies use to go to an analyst who
further clean up the data according to him and provide
only the data which is the ask of company and this data was than given to end user
who use to present it in front of
company management.
Now, we have such data tools which skips all these efforts and now user can clean
the data , generate the report and
easily present the data in front of stakeholders.

Data Visualisation :-

Three things in data visualisation is Intersection of design, Information science


and communication.
For example - An user want to figure out the sales on quarterly basis for a
particular product in a company.
Now user will be needing a clean data which includes all these information and user
need to communicate the information
to some stakeholders. How will this data communicated ? -- It will be in form of a
design which could be visualised
properly and it is called as Data visualisation.
There is a data with 10000 records and if you directly send it to some
stakeholders, it would be a mess to understand.
Instead if you convert the same data into a graph format, it would be better for
understanding.
Data visualisation is effective because it conveys a lot of information in a small
space.( For example - If you read a
book, it will take you 5-7 days however if you watch a movie, it will only take you
2-3 hrs.)
