Insufficient data sources is not typically considered a limitation or challenge for mobile intelligence, as there is generally an abundance of data available from mobile devices.

Question 2

The real value of business dashboards compared to reports) is that they provide users with a clear view of the ________________ of KPIs and other operational metrics.

Accepted Answer

Business dashboards provide users with real-time or near-real-time data on current performance of KPIs and operational metrics. While reports may provide information on past or projected performance, they are not as dynamic as dashboards in terms of providing up-to-date information on the current state of affairs. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Question 3

In terms of benefits, mashup apps decrease _____________________ compared to traditional, custom software development.

Accepted Answer

Mashup apps are pre-built, pre-tested and reusable components, therefore they require less IT implementation costs compared to custom software development.

Accepted Answer

An enterprise mashup integrates data from various sources including operational data stores, business systems, external data like economic data, suppliers' information, competitors' activities, and real-time news feeds to provide a comprehensive view of an enterprise's operations.

Question 6

For the business intelligence BI) industry, tablets and data visualization apps are considered ______________ technologies.

Accepted Answer

Tablets and data visualization apps have disrupted the way business intelligence data is accessed and consumed, leading to a shift in the traditional BI industry.

Question 7

According to your textbook, the two key components of a business dashboard are design and _________________.

Accepted Answer

Performance metrics are a key component of a business dashboard because they allow users to track and measure the progress of their business.

Question 8

A "heat map" uses _____________ to indicate trends or patterns in data.

Accepted Answer

Heat maps typically use color to show trends or patterns in data.

Question 9

According to research by Gartner, a recent advance in the area of business intelligence and the use of dashboards is the increasing popularity of ____________________.

Accepted Answer

The research by Gartner suggests that the increasing popularity in the area of business intelligence and the use of dashboards is linked to the rise in mobile dashboards.

Question 10

_________________ refers to the process of discovering relationships using data analytics tools, such as statistical software, statistical graphing, and mapping software.

Accepted Answer

Data discovery refers to the process of discovering relationships using data analytics tools. It involves exploring and analyzing data using statistical software, statistical graphing, and mapping software to find patterns, correlations, and trends. Pattern mapping is not a commonly used term in data analytics, configuration assessment is a process of assessing the configuration of systems and networks for security purposes, and statistical testing refers to the process of testing hypotheses using statistical methods.

Question 11

According to your text, mashup apps are designed based on three "tiers". Which of the following is not one of the three tiers or layers of a mashup app?

Accepted Answer

The three tiers or layers of a mashup app are Presentation tier, Logic tier, and Data tier. There is no Media tier in a mashup app.

Question 12

_______________________________pull data from business intelligence BI) systems, data warehouses, and other internal and external data stores; then display them in meaningful graphics with drill-down capabilities.

Accepted Answer

Visualization technologies are designed to pull data from various sources and present them in a visually engaging and interactive manner. They allow users to explore and analyze data at different levels of detail, creating more insightful and actionable insights. Info-graphics and spread-sheet graphics are specific types of visualizations, while design systems refer more broadly to the organization and management of design elements within a project.

Question 13

Using ________________________, nontechnical users can easily and quickly access, integrate, and display BI data from a variety of operational data sources, including those that are not integrated into the existing data warehouse, without having to understand the intricacies of the underlying data infrastructures, or schemas.

Accepted Answer

Self-service data mashup apps allow for nontechnical users to easily access, integrate, and display BI data from various sources without needing to understand the underlying data infrastructure or schemas. This makes it a perfect fit for the scenario described in the question. Modular software, object programming language (OPL), and flexible mashup programming (FMP) do not necessarily provide the same level of user-friendliness and simplicity as self-service data mashup apps.

Question 14

An) ______________ is a technique for building applications that combine data from multiple sources to create an integrated experience.

Accepted Answer

A mashup is a technique for building applications that combine data from multiple sources to create an integrated experience. It typically involves using APIs (application programming interfaces) to retrieve and display information from different sources, such as social media platforms or e-commerce sites. This allows users to access information and services from multiple sources within a single application or website.

Question 15

____________________ give visual snapshots of an organization's critical operational data or key performance indicators KPIs) to spot problems, trends, outliers, opportunities, and patterns.

Accepted Answer

Business dashboards are specifically designed to give a visual representation of an organization's critical operational data or key performance indicators (KPIs). They allow users to spot problems, trends, outliers, opportunities, and patterns at a glance, making it easier to make informed decisions quickly. Enhanced spreadsheets, cloud-based graphics, and enterprise graphics may be helpful tools, but they are not specifically tailored to the needs of a business dashboard.

Question 16

Rows and rows of data on their own are boring and take a lot of time and effort to understand. _____________________ presents data in engaging ways and helps communicate complex ideas quicker.

Accepted Answer

Data visualization is the process of presenting data in a visual format, such as charts, graphs, and maps. This makes it easier to understand and communicate complex data quickly and efficiently. Statistical models and data models may be helpful in analyzing data, but they do not necessarily present it in an engaging or easy-to-understand format. Data discovery is a broader term that refers to the process of finding and understanding data, but it also does not necessarily involve visualization.

Question 17

Which of the following is not an example of an enterprise data mashup discussed in your textbook?

Accepted Answer

GPS is not an example of an enterprise data mashup discussed in the textbook. The other options, such as interactive dashboards, drillable reports, and heat maps, are discussed in the book as examples of enterprise data mashups.

Question 18

Which of the following is not a benefit of enterprise mashup apps identified in your textbook?

Accepted Answer

Accessing data from competitor data warehouses could potentially raise ethical and legal concerns, and is not a benefit listed in the textbook. The other options (A, B, and D) are all identified as benefits of enterprise mashup apps in the textbook.

Question 19

Companies are investing in the latest data discovery solutions largely because of ____________________.

Accepted Answer

Companies are investing in the latest data discovery solutions largely because of the increased speed and flexibility they offer. These solutions enable businesses to easily and quickly analyze complex datasets, making it easier for them to make informed decisions and stay competitive in the marketplace.
