Business Intelligence: Top Influencers, Brands and Publications

by | Jun 6, 2018 | Influencer Lists,

Business intelligence (BI) refers to technologies, applications, infrastructure, tools and best practices for the collection, integration, analysis, and presentation of business information to improve and optimize decisions and performance. Business intelligence can be used by companies to support a wide range of business choices ranging from basic operating decisions such as product positioning or pricing to more strategic decisions such as priorities and goals.

BI is most effective when it combines external data from the market in which a business operates with internal data from company sources such as financial data. Business intelligence tools empower organizations to gain insight into new markets, to assess demand and suitability of products and services for different market segments and to gauge the impact of marketing efforts.


TOP INFLUENCERS

We analysed nearly 1.3M business intelligence posts from 28th May 2017 – 28th May 2018, looking at social influence as well as authority by analysing how much influencers are referenced on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Forums, Blogs, News and Tumblr content. These influencers were then identified and added to our Influencer Relationship Management software (IRM) to generate the influencer rankings and network map.

Below is a list of the top business intelligence influencers segmented by job role. If you want to see who ranks beyond these lists be sure to download the full report by clicking the download button below!

At Onalytica we love building these lists and want to give back to our loyal readers as much as we can. If you’re interested in other topics (such as Virtual Reality, Digital HealthDigital Marketing) be sure to have a look on our blog or why not propose some topics to us on Twitter?

Effective influencer marketing starts with identifying relevant influencers for your brand. Onalytica’s new Discovery platform mines over 200 billion posts a year into a curated database of over 500K global social media influencers, including data from Twitter, Blogs, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn Profile Links + Demographic Data. Our software enables you to identify influencers by topic, demographic or content and includes real-time tracking and measurement reporting to scale your influencer relations.

Disclaimer: As ever with these lists, it must be stressed that the ranking is by no means a definitive measurement of influence, as there is no such thing. The brands, individuals and publications listed here are undoubtedly influential when it comes to driving discussion around business intelligence.

The PageRank based methodology we use to extract influencers on a particular topic takes into account the number and quality of contextual references that a user receives. We looked at social topical influence as well as topical authority by analyzing both their social engagement on Twitter and how much influencers were referenced in association with business intelligence on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Forums, Blogs, News and Tumblr content. These calculations also take in to account a user’s resonance (engagement) relevance (number of posts on topic) and reach (number of followers). If you want to learn more, please read our article that outlines How to identify your target influencers.
