[edit]Types of business intelligence tools

The key general categories of business intelligence tools are:

• Spreadsheets^[1]
• Reporting and querying software: tools that extract, sort, summarize, and present selected data
• OLAP: Online analytical processing
• Digital dashboards
• Data mining
• Data warehousing
• Decision engineering
• Process mining
• Business performance management
• Local information systems

Except for spreadsheets, these tools are sold as standalone tools, suites of tools, components of ERP systems, or as components of software targeted to a specific industry. The tools are sometimes packaged into data warehouse appliances.
