Business Analytics and Intelligence

Business analytics is the practice of iterative, methodical exploration of an organization's data, with an emphasis on statistical analysis, to drive business strategy and improve performance.
The main focus of business intelligence is to provide insights into past performance, enabling informed decisions, and is primarily descriptive in nature.
The key difference between business intelligence and business analytics is that business intelligence provides a rearview mirror, whereas business analytics provides a windshield, looking forward, and anticipating what will happen.
Business analytics makes extensive use of statistical and mathematical techniques, including data mining, predictive analytics, and machine learning.
