解説
問 6
- ア
正解 The correct answer is ア, BI. BI (Business Intelligence) is the concept of accumulating all kinds of information scattered inside and outside a company — operational data, sales figures, customer information and so on — (consolidating it into a data warehouse or similar), letting managers and front-line employees analyze it themselves from many angles with analysis tools, and using the results for management decisions and business promotion. The three elements in the question — accumulating information, having managers and employees analyze it themselves, and applying the analysis results to management — match the definition of BI exactly. Data warehouses, data marts, OLAP, data mining and dashboards are typical mechanisms and techniques used to realize BI.
Incorrectイ
BPR (Business Process Reengineering) is a method for fundamentally reviewing existing business processes, organizations and systems and radically redesigning them to achieve major improvements in operations. Its target is the rebuilding of business processes, not the concept of accumulating information, analyzing it, and using it for decision making.
Incorrectウ
EA (Enterprise Architecture) is a method for visualizing an entire organization's operations and systems in terms of the business, data, application and technology layers, as the current state (As-Is) and the desired state (To-Be), and improving them from the viewpoint of overall optimization. Its purpose is to design and organize the overall structure; it does not refer to the concept of analyzing and using accumulated information itself.
Incorrectエ
SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) is a software design philosophy in which business functions are built as independent service components that are then combined to compose systems flexibly. It is about the architecture of system construction and has nothing to do with the concept of accumulating information for managers and employees to analyze.
ここがポイント
- BI (Business Intelligence) = the concept where users themselves analyze accumulated operational data and apply the results to management decisions and business promotion. Data warehouses, data mining and OLAP are the technologies that support it.
- Telling the confusing three-letter acronyms apart: BPR is the radical redesign of business processes, EA is the overall optimization of an entire organization's business and system structure, and SOA is a design philosophy that builds systems by combining service components.
