解説
問 7
- ア
正解 The BI tool (choice ア) is correct. BI (Business Intelligence) is a mechanism or tool that collects and integrates various business data accumulated within a company, such as accounting, sales, purchasing, and customer data, and searches and analyzes it quickly and effectively to support decision-making by managers and executives. The question's statements, “searching and analyzing various data quickly and effectively” and “supporting decision-making by managers and others,” match exactly the purpose and function of a BI tool.
Incorrectイ
A POS system (Point Of Sales) collects and records sales data such as item, quantity, and time at the moment a product is sold at a store register. It handles the entry point of data collection; its main purpose is not to analyze various business data across the board to support management decision-making.
Incorrectウ
An electronic filing system is a document-management mechanism that digitizes paper documents and forms so they can be stored, organized, and searched. Its purpose is the storage and retrieval of documents (files), not analyzing business data such as accounting and sales to support decision-making.
Incorrectエ
A workflow system is a mechanism that digitizes and automates the flow of routine business procedures (workflow) such as application, approval, and circulation to improve operational efficiency. Its purpose is managing the flow of business processes, not supporting decision-making through analysis of accumulated data.
ここがポイント
- Definition of a BI (Business Intelligence) tool: a mechanism that searches and analyzes various business data accumulated in a company to support decision-making by managers and others.
- Distinction from similar information systems: POS = data collection at the point of sale, electronic filing = electronic storage and retrieval of documents, workflow = digitization of the flow of business procedures.
