What is the Difference Between BI and Analytics?

BI and analytics are both umbrella terms referring to a type of data insight software. Many providers use them interchangeably, but some use them in conjunction, claiming to offer both business intelligence and business analytics.

This of course makes us wonder: what’s the difference?

The short answer is: it depends on who you ask. As Timo Elliot, Innovation Evangelist at SAP so eloquently put it, “everybody has an opinion, but nobody knows, and you shouldn’t care.”

Elliot got it mostly right. You should care about the terms used to describe the applications you’re buying, particularly when it comes to embedded software destined to become part of your product.

Abbott Laboratories (ABT.N) on Tuesday cut its full-year 2021 profit forecast as it expects a sharp decline in revenue from its COVID-19 tests as more Americans get vaccinated, sending the medical device maker’s shares down more than 6%.

“This has been driven by several factors, including significant reductions in (COVID-19) cases in the U.S. and other major developed countries, accelerated roll-out of vaccines globally and, most recently, U.S. health authority guidance on testing for fully vaccinated individuals,” the company said.
