Google Business Intelligence Certificate

Business intelligence (BI) uses various processes and tools to turn raw data into easy-to-understand, actionable information. Organizations rely on this information to make better strategic and operational business decisions.

The Google Business Intelligence Certificate is designed for people working in data analytics or graduates of the Google Data Analytics Certificate program who want to boost their data analytics skills.

Business intelligence analysts create processes and information channels that transform data into the actionable insights needed to inform business decisions. Some example problems for BI include measuring performance, tracking revenue or spending, and monitoring progress.

Data analytics and BI share a lot of common ground: They are both fields in which professionals use data to create insights that inform decision-making. Data analysts collect, analyze, and interpret data to tell a story, sharing their insights via a report. BI professionals focus on making data easily accessible and understood by an organization's leaders, retrieving and preparing data from multiple sources to then create reports or dashboards that stakeholders can monitor themselves.

Companies must continually adjust their products, services, tools, and business strategies to meet consumer preferences and demand, and to react to emerging trends. This makes data analytics a dynamic career field for professional growth, often with competitive pay.

Data analysts make sense of data and numbers to help organizations make better business decisions. They prepare, process, analyze, and visualize data, discovering patterns and trends and answering key questions along the way. Their work gives the wider team greater context and knowledge to make more informed decisions.
