Business analytics (BA) refers to the skills, technologies, practices for continuous iterative exploration and investigation of past business performance to gain insight and drive business planning.

Business analytics focuses on developing new insights and understanding of business performance based on data and statistical methods.

In contrast, business intelligence traditionally focuses on using a consistent set of metrics to both measure past performance and guide business planning, which is also based on data and statistical methods.(citation needed).

Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand.

It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.

Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in either privately owned, or third-party data centers that may be located far from the user–ranging in distance from across a city to across the world.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over an electricity network.

A performance indicator or key performance indicator (KPI) is a type of performance measurement.

KPIs evaluate the success of an organization or of a particular activity in which it engages.

Often success is simply the repeated, periodic achievement of some levels of operational goal (e.g. zero defects, 10/10 customer satisfaction, etc), and sometimes success is defined in terms of making progress toward strategic goals.

Accordingly, choosing the right KPIs relies upon a good understanding of what is important to the organization.

'What is important' often depends on the department measuring the performance – e.g. the KPIs useful to finance will differ from the KPIs assigned to sales.

Since there is a need to understand well what is important, various techniques to assess the present state of the business, and its key activities, are associated with the selection of performance indicators.

These assessments often lead to the identification of potential improvements, so performance indicators are routinely associated with 'performance improvement' initiatives.

A very common way to choose KPIs is to apply a management framework such as the balanced scorecard.

Dashboards oy performance indicators) relevant to a particular objective or business process (e.g. sales, marketing, human resources, or production).

In real-world terms, "dashboard" is a no the name.

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application for organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form.

Spreadsheets are developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets.

The program operates on data entered in cells of a table.

Each cell may contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.

A spreadsheet may also refer to one such electronic document.
