[MA] Development and Evaluation of Generic Business Intelligence Tool Integration and Specific Use Case Mapping
Modern software systems produce a lot of complex and heterogeneous data during their operational time, either on purpose or as byproduct. This applies for management, planning, organizational or optimization systems, e.g., as log data, information artifacts of all kinds (files, data storages, messages, \ldots) or data entries. This resulting data can contains valuable insights and knowledge, which can be yielded by Business Intelligence (BI) tools. Currently, different commercial and Open Source BI tool are available, exposing manifold advantages and characteristics.
With regard to the technical environment and use case specific requirements, different constraints exist for the BI tool candidates, making it challenging to select and adapt the most appropriate tools in a efficient and future-oriented manner. This thesis should examine typical integration and adaptation concepts for BI tools and develop and investigate a general-purpose approach to couple specific use cases in distinct software environments to a subset of BI tool to meet predefined software requirements, such as exchangeability or transferability. In this way, a generic method and potentially also an encapsulating BI framework should be designed to simplify the application of BI tooling for specific use cases.
