Can you promote in r/businessintelligence?

Business Intelligence is the process of utilizing organizational data, technology, analytics, and the knowledge of subject matter experts to create data-driven decisions via dashboards, reports, alerts, and ad-hoc analysis.

The short answer

Do not mention or promote your product/company; participate as a practitioner with helpful, non-commercial answers and follow sticky-thread rules for career topics.

What works here

  • Answer technical questions helpfully without promoting a product
  • Participate in discussions as a practitioner
  • Post relevant job openings as direct employer with remuneration details

What gets posts removed

  • Posting about or linking to your product or service
  • Soliciting customers, leads, surveys, or demos
  • Posting promotional content or low-effort marketing

Where this comes from

No Vendor Content rule

Explicit prohibition: 'We do not allow posts from vendors about their product.'

Sidebar anti-advertising note

Posts that appear to only advertise a product or service are likely marked as spam, indicating marketing is unwelcome.

No Low Effort Posts

Community requires substantive, helpful content and calls out survey/fill requests and simple tool comparisons as low-effort and likely removed.

Career sticky requirement

Career-related posts must go under a designated sticky rather than new vendor-style recruitment or promotional posts.
