Data Integration: Different datasets are combined to create a unified view. Data Analysis: Analytical tools are applied to the integrated data to uncover insights. Data Visualization: The results of the analysis are visualized using charts, graphs, and dashboards for easier interpretation. Decision-making: Business leaders use the insights gained from BI to make informed decisions.
