Answer

The four core components of Business Intelligence are:

  1. Data Sources - where raw data originates (databases, spreadsheets, cloud services)
  2. Data Warehousing/ETL - extracting, transforming, and loading data into a central repository
  3. Analytics and Data Modeling - processing data to find patterns and create meaningful metrics; and
  4. Visualization and Reporting - presenting insights through dashboards, reports, and interactive visuals. Power BI encompasses components 3 and 4, while connecting seamlessly to components 1 and 2.
