Business Intelligence
Business intelligence (BI) is the practice of harnessing enterprise data to provide insight into business performance and empower superior business decision-making. While the practices of BI are extensive and varied, the core of obtaining good business intelligence relies on accessing high-quality data from multiple sources and being able to analyze and view this data at the point of critical business decision-making. BI often includes techniques and systems such as data warehousing, reporting, performance dashboards, KPIs, business performance measurement, and data analytics. Like most critical business functions, each company has their own unique sources and uses of business intelligence, and it is thereby critical for a thoughtful and comprehensive strategy and plan to be developed to meet the needs of each unique business situation.
