Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence (BI) is a category of processes and technologies focused on identifying, collecting, storing, analyzing, and providing business data. The objective of these activities is to support and optimize decision-making in a business context.

Within Business Intelligence, IT systems play the essential role of aggregating business data from the past, present, and future and making that information available to users. Popular analysis examples include data mining, benchmarking, and forecasting.

The goal of these analyses is to enable upcoming decisions based on a meaningful and reliable data foundation. This is the central mission of Business Intelligence.

Business Intelligence can also be viewed as a foundation for Competitive Intelligence (CI), which includes not only the analysis of internal business data but also analysis of the relevant market.

What benefits does this create for your company?
