Protótipo de Business Intelligence para apoio à tomada de decisão no futebol

Abstract

For a long time, football scholars have found it difficult to unravel the mystery of what football numbers can represent, as was the case of the pioneer in football analysis from a statistical point of view, Charles Reep. He had his analytical capacity limited by the technology of the time, which made it impossible for him to obtain accurate information such as analyzing opponents or studying and improving player performance. This project aimed at the best cost-benefit possible, in order to guarantee the maximum reach of the community of analysts and clubs. The proposed solution was to develop a Business Intelligence prototype containing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) organized and ordered in a dashboard that highlights the fundamental quantitative values that measure its main internal processes, enabling the monitoring and better management of the level of performance and success in the strategies. For this, the technology used in the construction of the project started with the relational database, MySQL, which has a comprehensive data structure on the entire scope of football, such as leagues, clubs and players. The use of the cloud as a service for connecting, integrating and storing data, ensuring accessibility and security through Microsoft Azure and finally, Microsoft Power BI, which was used to create the dashboard that is responsible for demonstrating the performance indicators in a easy and organized way.Thus, this project provides an environment that will help the analysis and study of any professional involved with the world of football in a comprehensive way.
