PurposeBusiness intelligence (BI) is a strategic approach that can use analytical tools to collect and integrate information, apply business rules and ensure the appropriate visible output of organizational information. This study aims to present the design and implementation of BI in areas of business process improvement for production, distribution and customer services.Design/methodology/approachThis study highlights the process of BI in the production, distribution and customer services based on the National Food Products Company (NFPC) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This study discusses the step-by-step development process of BI and refers to graphical illustrations of the business needs and the organization's target key performance indicators (KPI).FindingsBased on the business needs and chosen KPIs to maximize production and improve distribution and customer services the BI tool shows that the “star scheme” is the most appropriate one. Relational Online Analytical Processing (ROLAP) based on Mondrian system is employed as Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) architecture since the NFPC's technological infrastructure was better adapted to this vision. The analysis starts with data retrieval from two databases' customer' and production and distribution databases. Finally, visualization and reporting processes that respect the end-users improve the NFPC's decisions.Practical implicationsThe study will help other organizations, BI developers, data warehouses (DW) developers and administrators, project managers as well as academic researchers understand how to develop a successful BI framework and implement BI based on business needs.Originality/valueThis is a unique and original study on the BI experience from a UAE-based organization and will encourage other organizations to apply BI in their business process.

Purpose Linked data (LD) has promoted publishing information, and links published information. There are increasing number of LD datasets containing numerical data such as statistics. For this reason, analyzing numerical facts on LD has attracted attentions from diverse domains. This paper aims to support analytical processing for LD data. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes a framework called H-SPOOL which provides series of SPARQL (SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) queries extracting objects and attributes from LD data sets, converts them into star/snowflake schemas and materializes relevant triples as fact and dimension tables for online analytical processing (OLAP). Findings The applicability of H-SPOOL is evaluated using exiting LD data sets on the Web, and H-SPOOL successfully processes the LD data sets to ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) for OLAP. Besides, experiments show that H-SPOOL reduces the number of downloaded triples comparing with existing approach. Originality/value H-SPOOL is the first work for extracting OLAP-related information from SPARQL endpoints, and H-SPOOL drastically reduces the amount of downloaded triples.

Tanaman padi merupakan tanaman yang paling penting karena merupakan sumber makanan pokok masyarakat Indonesia. Pertumbuhan penduduk di Indonesia dan diikuti dengan tingkat produksi padi yang tidak merata tentu menjadi masalah serius bagi Indonesia dalam mencukupi kebutuhan pangan nasional. Informasi kebijakan pemerintah dalam pengembangan komoditas padi sangatlah penting karena komoditas ini memiliki peran penting dalam menjaga stabilitas kebutuhan pangan nasional. Badan Pusat Statistik adalah lembaga yang memiliki berbagai data sensus dan survei dalam ukuran yang sangat besar. Agar data tersebut dapat diolah menjadi informasi yang lebih bernilai dibutuhkan sebuah aplikasi business intelligence yang dapat memvisualisasikan data-data tersebut sehingga dapat menampilkan informasi daerah dengan produksi dan produktivitas padi yang tinggi maupun yang rendah. Pengelompokan data ini bertujuan untuk mempermudah pengguna dalam mendapatkan informasi mengenai produksi dan produktivitas tanaman padi di setiap daerah di Indonesia sehingga dapat menjadi acuan bagi Kementerian Pertanian dalam perumusan dan penetapan kebijakan di bidang penyediaan prasarana dan sarana pertanian, peningkatan produksi padi dan pertanian lainnya. Pada penelitian ini digunakan salah satu business intelligence software untuk dapat mengelompokkan data tanaman padi serta visualisasinya dalam bentuk informasi grafik dan peta kartogram area dengan metode Online Analytical Processing (OLAP).

Perfect store is one of the business strategies owned by PT. Unilever where a store provides an appropriate product assortment and ensures visibility by displaying products in accordance with the planogram, and placed in the right position by taking into account the habits of the buyer and using the right display tools. This perfect store strategy aims to increase sales in the context of business development. To find out whether the perfect store strategy has been applied in all existing areas, a perfect store audit is needed. The method used to audit perfect store data is OLAP (Online Analytical Processing). The results of data processing with OLAP are in the form of a perfect store audit report that is accurate, relevant and timely which is presented in the form of an analysis chart that will be used by PT. Uniliver to see which areas have increased sales from the perfect store strategy that has been implemented so that PT Uniliver can determine the right marketing strategy.

Em investigações criminais complexas, os envolvidos lidam com uma quantidade enorme e complexa de dados que necessitam de recursos computacionais especializados na extração de informações e correlações relevantes para o processo investigativo. Neste cenário, é necessário que haja apoio computacional, desde a etapa de armazenamento e integração entre diferentes bases de dados, até a etapa de análise estatística e descoberta de padrões. Este artigo discute os resultados de um Survey aplicado aos principais órgãos de combate ao crime organizado, tais como as agências de Inteligência de Segurança Pública – ISP, os Laboratórios de Tecnologia de Combate à Lavagem de Dinheiro – LABLDs e os Grupos de Atuação Especial de Repressão ao Crime Organizado – GAECO. O objetivo principal foi o de conhecer o cenário atual da utilização de ferramentas de análise de dados nessas agências, projetando as necessidades de pesquisa e investimentos nesta área. Entre os resultados encontrados, observou-se que 40% dos pesquisados não conhecem e 15% não utilizam soluções de ETL (Extract, Transform and Load), apesar de todos (100%) declararem possuir pelo menos uma ferramenta de Data Mining no seu local de trabalho, bem como também declararem (100%) possuir pelo menos uma ferramenta de OLAP/BI (Online Analytical Processing/Business Intelligence). Por fim e com proeminente destaque, apenas 2,77% dos pesquisados utilizam diretamente algum algoritmo de Mineração de Dados para extração de conhecimento. Este cenário evidencia, inicialmente, que a maior parte dos órgãos especializados em investigação do Brasil ainda não aplica efetivamente as técnicas de Data Mining e de Data Analytics em suas atividades.
