Data mining techniques have been widely used for extracting non-trivial information from massive amounts of data. They help in strategic decision-making as well as many more applications. However, data mining also has a few demerits apart from its usefulness. Sensitive information contained in the database may be brought out by the data mining tools. Different approaches are being utilized to hide the sensitive information. The proposed work in this article applies a novel method to access the generating transactions with minimum effort from the transactional database. It helps in reducing the time complexity of any hiding algorithm. The theoretical and empirical analysis of the algorithm shows that hiding of data using this proposed work performs association rule hiding quicker than other algorithms.

Over time, the adoption of ERP systems has been wide across many small, medium, and large organizations. An ERP system is supposed to inform the strategic decision making of the organization; therefore, the information drawn from the ERP system is as important as the data stored in it. Poor data quality affects the quality information in it. Data mining is used to discover trends and patterns of an organization. This chapter looks into the way of integrating these data mining into an ERP system. This is conceptualized in three crucial views namely the outer, inner, and the knowledge discovery view. The outer view comprises of the collection of various entry points, the inner view contains the data repository, and the knowledge discovery view offers the data mining component. Since the focus is data mining, the two strategies of supervised and unsupervised are discussed. The chapter then concludes by presenting the probable problems within which each of these two strategies (classification and clustering) can be put into place within the mining process of an ERP system.

Business intelligence (BI) is a key topic in business today, since it is focused on strategic decision making and on the search of value from business activities through empowering a “forward-thinking” view of the world. From this perspective, one of the most valuable concepts within BI is the “knowledge discovery in databases” or “data mining,” defined as “the process of discovering meaningful new correlations, patterns, and trends by sifting through large amounts of data stored in repositories, using pattern recognition technologies as well as statistical and mathematical techniques” (SPSS, 1997).

Association refers to correlations that exist among data. Association Rule Mining (ARM) is an important data-mining task. It refers to discovery of rules between different sets of attributes/items in very large databases (Agrawal R. & Srikant R. 1994). The discovered rules help in strategic decision making in both commercial and scientific domains. A classical application of ARM is market basket analysis, an application of data mining in retail sales where associations between the different items are discovered to analyze the customer’s buying habits in order to develop better marketing strategies. ARM has been extensively used in other applications like spatial-temporal, health care, bioinformatics, web data etc (Han J., Cheng H., Xin D., & Yan X. 2007).
