What is a BI Analyst?

A business intelligence (Bi) analyst reviews and analyses data to assist a company in making decisions. The data looks at featured information about a business's sales, revenue, and market intelligence. It also entails information about their respective competitors. After collating the information, a Bi analyst spots any trends and patterns that could help a company improve and shares this data in reports. Based on this data, a Bi analyst would provide recommendations on how a business can improve and grow.
