Finally after almost two years of starting the work of writing the book, Business Intelligence Demystified , it's published and available in Amazon and BPB websites. I very much underestimated the work that it involved. I have invested over 800 hours in writing this book, and don't forget the hours and effort spent by all of the reviewers and the publishing team. While I have based this book mostly on own experience of last 15 years in BI projects, where required, I have done quite a bit of research too. Therefore I am sure quite a lot of people will find it useful for starting/restarting their BI journeys irrespective of the current role/profession and also for clarifying all of their doubts about BI.  For whom is this? Simply put, if you want to know BI, you could read this book. If you think you know BI, you should read this book. If you don’t know whether you know BI or not, you must read this book. Irrespective of where you are at your career, or which stage your business

That's it. Now the python script will be triggered a

Which BI tool should I learn?

Many BI aspirants have these questions "Which BI tool/s should I learn?" , "Learning which BI tools will improve my chances of getting a job sooner?", etc. When such questions are asked in online Q&A forums, most of the answers are biased for one or the other reasons. Therefore, I would like to provide  a way using which you can figure out the answer on your own based on facts.   A random set of of BI tools - not comprehensive Search for current BI job openings either in sites such as LinkedIn, XING, job portals or directly on the website of various companies.  Go through the job specification in detail and exclude those job specs that do not have specific tool requirements. Also exclude those job ads by agencies. Focus on those BI job specs that are directly from the companies that wants to hire for their own needs rather than for their clients.  If you have constraints such as location, industry (domain), or role constraint, then search BI job openings applyin
