    Business intelligence represents the process of collecting all the available and important external data and their transformation into useful ones that help each bank management with making business decisions. In modern banking, the system of business intelligence enables multimedia analyze, on-line analytic data processing as wel as Data Mining which can be used by bank man-agers in order to get and learn important trends that are “hidden” in big data bases. Apart the others, integral parts of business intelligence are Data Warehouse, executive and informational systems, on-line analityc data processing and Balanced Scorecard (BSC) implementation. Among the most important goals of business intelligence is identifcation and anticipation of real favorites and bad circumstances in business bank environment. Quality architecture of the environment of bank systems for support should include the trinty: Data Warehouse, OLAP and Data Mining. Business intelligence values should be observed from the point of modern understanding of managing and making decisions. Business banks which are able to manage their data resources, information and knowledge are more successful than their competitors. Business banks have a lot of information resources, but real challenge is to know to collect the information in a defnite time period, from the appropriate category of clients. The main idea of CRM is not any more going in for products and services but for their clients. Today it has become possible by development of data bases where saved data about specifc clients are put, as well as software that enables optimal usage of those data. Studying the clients represents the base of CRM and it is the information of bank client inte-raction that results in the possibility for making stabile profitable relations with clients. The concept of electric business intelligence as its main support has a signifcant importance for developing of CRM in business banking. Therefore, business banks, which are oriented to traditional managing way, become uncompetitive in a very complex capital of bank market

Economical growth and nowadays technologies lead to difficult problems related to environmental protection against pollution and to people safety against various direct threats from air soil, food. In this respect, an increasing importance get the collection of information and its processing and interpretation just to understand and discover threats and potential disturbance of the environment and health. The paper proposes a multilevel system for the administrative bodies involved in environment matters at local regional and national levels, which may collect and scrutiny data on waste generation, spread and reuse/elimination, and provide sound instruments to assist decision makers of the corresponding levels, using Data Mining and Business Intelligence.Management, environment, information system, business intelligence, data mining.

    Data mining with the SAP NetWeaver BI accelerator

    Get PDF
    The new SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence accelerator is an engine that supports online analytical processing. It performs aggregation in memory and in query runtime over large volumes of structured data. This paper first briefly describes the accelerator and its main architectural features, and cites test results that indicate its power. Then it describes in detail how the accelerator may be used for data mining. The accelerator can perform data mining in the same large repositories of data and using the same compact index structures that it uses for analytical processing. A first such implementation of data mining is described and the results of a performance evaluation are presented. Association rule mining in a distributed architecture was implemented with a variant of the BUC iceberg cubing algorithm. Test results suggest that useful online mining should be possible with wait times of less than 60 seconds on business data that has not been preprocessed

    Exploiting Graphic Card Processor Technology to Accelerate Data Mining Queries in SAP NetWeaver BIA

    Get PDF
    Within business Intelligence contexts, the importance of data mining algorithms is continuously increasing, particularly from the perspective of applications and users that demand novel algorithms on the one hand and an efficient implementation exploiting novel system architectures on the other hand. Within this paper, we focus on the latter issue and report our experience with the exploitation of graphic card processor technology within the SAP NetWeaver business intelligence accelerator (BIA). The BIA represents a highly distributed analytical engine that supports OLAP and data mining processing primitives. The system organizes data entities in column-wise fashion and its operation is completely main-memory-based. Since case studies have shown that classic data mining queries spend a large portion of their runtime on scanning and filtering the data as a necessary prerequisite to the actual mining step, our main goal was to speed up this expensive scanning and filtering process. In a first step, the paper outlines the basic data mining processing techniques within SAP NetWeaver BIA and illustrates the implementation of scans and filters. In a second step, we give insight into the main features of a hybrid system architecture design exploiting graphic card processor technology. Finally, we sketch the implementation and give details of our vast evaluations

    Get PDF
    A key objective of implementing business intelligence tools and methods is to analyze voluminous data and to derive information that would otherwise not be available. Although the overall significance of business intelligence has increased with the general growth of processed and available data it is almost absent in the auditing industry. Public accountants face the challenge to provide an opinion on financial statements that are based on the data produced by the automated processing of countless business transactions in ERP systems. Methods for mining and reconstructing financially relevant process instances can be used as a data analysis tool in the specific context of auditing. In this article we introduce and evaluate an algorithm that effectively reduces the complexity of mined process instances. The presented methods provide a part of the foundation for implementing automated analysis and audit procedures that can assist auditors to perform more efficient and effective audits
