Functional Architecture Of Business Intelligence Platforms In Accounting Contexts Based On Contaweb-BI

Abstract

The functional structure of business intelligence (BI) platforms plays a fundamental role in the potential generation of value in specialized environments such as accounting. This article aims to develop a technical and structural study of the ContaWeb-BI platform, specifically applied to the accounting contexts of small and medium-sized organizations, as well as public organizations. To carry out the study, a direct functional analysis is proposed applied to a real-life context of development and use of the solution, allowing a review of its main modules, workflows, interaction logic, and analytical capacity. The results reflect a highly adapted modular architecture, with functionalities that allow for structured data uploading, sales and purchase projections, supplier groupings, and automatic detection of accounting anomalies, among others. The user-friendly interface and hierarchical segmentation by entities reinforce its applicability in organizational environments with decentralized work structures. ContaWeb-BI, compared to general BI platforms, presents a greater degree of alignment with the functioning of the accounting logic. Finally, it is concluded that its design represents a replicable model of specialized BI architecture and is valuable for digital transformation in medium-sized contexts, recommending its use as a model for the development of contextualized analytical solutions.
