The term "architecture" is more commonly used in the realm of data engineering and data warehouse project work, but the concept applies to BI and analytic reporting projects of all sizes. Like the architecture of a building, a complete Business Intelligence architecture contains the foundation and structure of your solution. Using the building analogy, a data platform can take on many forms, like a single-story cottage, a sprawling university campus or a towering skyscraper.
