Introduction to Knowage

Business Intelligence systems are very important for decision making and sometimes they are referred to as decision support systems. To put this in perspective, assume you are the CEO of a large bank. Which kind of information would you like to know about your bank at any given time? You might want to know how many account holders are in a certain age group, for example so as to make a decision on which products best suits them or you may want to know how much you spend to acquire a customer. Naturally, you always want to know what your competitor is doing. This is in a branch of Business Intelligence called Competitive Intelligence.

Knowage is an open source business intelligence suite from Italy and is licensed either as community edition or enterprise edition. In their website, the developers state that “… Knowage Community Edition is not a toy version or a trial with relevant restrictions. Coming from the long history of SpagoBI, Knowage Community Edition includes the whole set of analytical capabilities and guarantees a full end-user experience”. The community edition therefore can be used in a production environment.

Throughout this course, we will take you through all the analytical capabilities of knowage community edition so that by the end of the course, you should be ready to use it for your business intelligence and data science projects.
