Self-Service BI
Self-Service BI (Business Intelligence) is a data analytics approach that enables non-technical business users to access, analyze, and visualize data without relying on IT or data specialists. It provides intuitive tools like drag-and-drop interfaces, pre-built dashboards, and automated reporting to empower users to generate insights independently. This democratizes data access and accelerates decision-making across organizations.
Developers should learn Self-Service BI to build or integrate platforms that reduce IT bottlenecks and enable business teams to perform ad-hoc analyses, such as sales trend exploration or customer segmentation, without constant technical support. It's crucial in agile environments where rapid, data-driven decisions are needed, and it complements data engineering by offloading routine reporting tasks to end-users.
