IMPLEMENTATION OF BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE TO DETERMINE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS (CASE STUDY: PAMULANG UNIVERSITY)

Abstract

Information technology has an important role in various fields of work, including in the academic world, especially to help the selection process of students who are eligible to receive scholarships. This selection does not only depend on one factor, but rather considers several important criteria such as the student's GPA and economic condition. However, with a lot of student data in each batch, the process of retrieving information becomes complex if it is only done with ordinary queries. To address this problem, Business Intelligence (BI) can be used to effectively manage large amounts of data. BI includes the use of data warehouses and data analysis to facilitate information processing. In this study, the Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) method was applied to analyze data in a multidimensional manner. RapidMiner is also used to help create a decision tree model that can identify students who are eligible for scholarships. With the combination of OLAP and RapidMiner, it is hoped that the decision-making process can be carried out faster and more accurately, making it easier for academics to select scholarship recipients at the university.
