exploded diagram of a machine (representing the business intelligence and machine learning system) who gathers various data from different sources: some are from the machine (internal data), while others are sourced from suppliers (external data). The machine then skillfully combines these diverse ingredients, using their expertise and specialized equipment (algorithms and analytical tools), to create output (insights and knowledge). This output is not only a blend of data but also presents these ingredients in a new, more refined form, making them more appealing and valuable to the customers (stakeholders or decision-makers in a business).
