1 Introduction to Business Intelligence for SAS Users Tom Miron Systems Seminar Consultants Madison, WI 1
2 What is Business Intelligence? Business intelligence is the end-user or analyst s view of your business data. 2
3 What is Business Intelligence? Three elements of business intelligence: 1. Identify and understand source data (operational data) 2. Create a processed copy of source data in a user accessible BI database 3. Develop or facilitate a user interface that allows analysis and presentation of the BI data We will concentrate on 1. (Identify) and 2. (Create) 3
4 What is Business Intelligence? 3. Facilitate 1. Identify 2. Copy Analysis Interface Data Universe Source Feed Copy BI Database Analysis Interface Analysis Interface If you re creating reports, graphics, predictive models, or other data presentations that drive business decisions then you are involved with business intelligence.
5 What We ll Cover This presentation has three parts: 1. Understanding Operational vs. BI Data 2. ETL or something like it 3. Dimensional Modeling 5
6 Understanding Operational vs. BI Data Operational data Operational data (op-data) originates with business events. An operational data item is the record of a business event. Examples: customer order patient visit banner ad click through account opened 6
7 Operational Data Any business event worth recording is operational data Event sale Event shipment Event patient visit Operational Data Event customer call in Event click through Event account opened 7
8 Operational Data As It Happens Op-data is typically recorded as it happens. Examples: A server log record is cut when the page under a banner ad is served. An order entry record is added when a customer makes an order. A ship log record is entered when an item goes out the door. 8
9 System of record Operational data systems are often systems of record. An event doesn t really exist until it s in the system of record. Orders Payments Shipments Work/process completed 9
10 Op-Data Concerns Insert efficiency Up time Integrity Operational data systems are not concerned with Query efficiency A database optimized for reports and data analysis these are the concerns of Business Intelligence 10
11 Virtual op-data For any data where you do not control timing quality change management That data can be considered as operational data even if not truly operational data from the business viewpoint. Virtual op-data 11
12 A BI First Principle 1. Clearly define and understand the content, timing, and quality of your (virtual) op-data. 12
13 BI = not op-data Business Intelligence is not concerned with capturing data. Business Intelligence is the system we use to analyze opdata. 13
14 BI and Time BI is after the fact. BI does not show us what s happening right now. Time and timing are critical. BI data represent a discrete slice of time last year last month yesterday 14
15 BI Principle Two 2. Make sure your input data s time attribute is at a finer level of detail (grain) than required for your BI system or ensure that it time aligns with your presentation requirements. 15
16 One way data flow In a BI system data flows one way from the operational system to the BI system. Op-data BI Op-data is part of the system of record. BI systems do (should) not change business events after the fact. 16
17 BI Principle Three 3. Your BI system should have explicit or implicit access controls that prevent update of op-data. When dealing with true operational data this principle is critical for internal control, compliance audits, and system integrity. 17
18 Business Intelligence A Business Intelligence system is any system that 1. Uses, but does not create, operational or virtual operations data to 2. Create a database accessible by analyst s and end-users as it 3. Isolates and protects operational data from the impact of those end-user access and 4. Reformats the operational data to optimize end user tasks. 18
19 The Role of ETL ETL is Extract Transform Load - get a copy of op-data - validate, summarize, etc. - add to user-accessible database 19
20 What ETL Does Basic functions: Copy operational data to the BI side in a timely and innocuous (to the operational system) manner. Create a fixed-in-time snapshot of the op-data. Optional functions: Validate Backup Check-point Summarize Version stamp Create meta-data Apply access rules and on and on 20
21 The Place of ETL ETL isolates op-data from the unpredictable needs (and misdeeds) of users. Presentation ETL Analysis Interface Operational Data Value Added Copy BI Database Analysis Interface Analysis Interface ETL loads the presentation database. 21
22 ETL Principles Copy Copy data from op-data systems because BI does not work with actual op-data. Validate Apply rules for data validation and quality. Transform Decode, summarize, filter, etc. Load Insert into the user-accessible database. (Data warehouse/mart, reporting tables, etc.) 22
23 Real-Life ETL In most BI systems, ETL requires the most effort and maintenance. ETL must accommodate: op-data feeds from multiple sources data feeds with differing or perhaps random time alignments data feeds of dubious quality data feeds apt to change format without warning 23
24 More ETL Stuff Separate ETL from other processes, meaning ETL should not be integrated with reporting or operational data systems. Machine efficiency is (usually) not the concern of ETL. Ease of maintenance vs. absolute machine efficiency Standardize (ISO, business codes, name standards) Discrete, modular, object-like vs. integrated
25 More ETL Stuff Life-cycle efficiency is the goal. Break your process into stages, modules, objects. ETL Operational Data Copy Validate Transform Summarize Load BI Database Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 25
26 BI Principle Four 4. Your BI system should have a discreet ETL (or ETL-like) process component that begins with a data copy or extract step. 26
27 Dimensional Modeling: What and Why Dimensional modeling is a technical specification for database design. Dimensional modeling requires a relational database system. Dimensional modeling relies on tables with indexes and keys. SAS is a great environment for dimensional modeling. 27
28 Facts and Dimensions A dimensional data model is based on two types of tables: 1. Fact tables (aka measures) 2. Dimensional tables (aka attributes) These tables are linked by keys. 28
29 Facts and Dimensions Fact and dimension tables Date Dimension Date key (PK) Date Day of week Calendar month Sales Transaction Fact Table Calendar year Date key (FK) Holiday Product key (FK) Channel key (FK) Promotion key (FK) Channel Dimension Customer ID (FK) Channel ID (PK) Sales quantity Channel name Sales dollar amount Channel description Cost dollar amount Channel type Star schema. Product Dimension Product key (PK) Product Description Category Description Promotion Dimension Promotion key (PK) Promotion name Promotion type Promotion start date Promotion end date Customer Dimension Customer ID (PK) Customer Name City State Zip 29
30 What s the point? The dimensional model should be considered when 1. The potential number of fact rows is large compared to the number of unique dimension values. 2. Your dimensions are shared and/or must conform to a business standard. 3. You want to standardize queries or talk to a user interface that expects a dimensional model. 4. You are creating, or may evolve to, a data warehouse system. 30
31 More DM Good Stuff 1. DM allows straightforward summarization, disaggregation, and joining of business events. That is, drill up, drill down, and drill across. 2. DM facilitates control of dimension attribute changes, e.g., what happens when a customer changes name? 3. DM is relatively simple vs. a fully normalized table structure. 4. DM facilitates conformed data. Enforcing a single version of key business information such as customer and product attributes. 31
32 More DM Good Stuff 5. The dimensional model allows you to segregate sensitive personal (PII) or proprietary information. 6. Standalone DM systems can be integrated into larger warehouse (or warehouse-like) systems. 7. DM is time-tested, well understood, and well documented. You don t have to reinvent the wheel! 32
33 DM in a SAS Environment The base SAS product provides all the tools you need to set up a dimensional database: Tables (SAS datasets) Indexing Integrity constraints (primary key, foreign key) SQL Plus all the power of the DATA step language and PROCs. Additional SAS products provide industry-specific processes, management facilities, user interface schemes. 33
34 Wrap Up Business Intelligence is (loosely) defined as: Any system that deals with the end-user view of your data as opposed to operational data. 34
35 Wrap Up Four BI Principles 1. Clearly define and understand the content, timing, and quality of your (virtual) op-data. 2. Make sure your input data s time attribute is at a finer level of detail (grain) than required for your BI system or ensure that it time aligns with your presentation requirements. 3. Your BI system should have explicit or implicit access controls that prevent update of op-data by the BI system. 4. Your BI system should have a discreet ETL component that begins with a data copy step. 35
36 Wrap Up Consider the dimensional data model as the target database for your BI system. DM benefits: 1. Efficient for large amounts of data 2. Standard form, fast queries 3. Established methods for dealing with attribute changes. 4. Well documented, well tested in many business environments. 36
