Data analysis, reporting, and query tools can help business users wade through a sea of data to synthesize valuable information from it today these tools collectively fall into a category called Business Intelligence. (Bert Brijs,pp5)
Business intelligence (BI) Business intelligence (BI) is a broad category of applications and technologies for gathering, storing, analyzing, and providing access to data to help enterprise users make better business decisions. (Bert Brijs,2013) Using a broad definition: Business Intelligence is a set of methodologies, processes, architectures, and technologies that transform raw data into meaningful and useful information used to enable more effective strategic, tactical, and operational insights and decision-making. Under this definition, business intelligence also includes technologies such as data integration, data quality, data warehousing, master-data management, text-and content-analytics, and many others that the market sometimes lumps into the Information Management segment. (Drew Bentley ,2017)
BI applications BI applications include the activities of decision support systems, query and reporting, online analytical processing (OLAP), statistical analysis, forecasting, and data mining. Business intelligence applications can be: Mission-critical and integral to an enterprise s operations or occasional to meet a special requirement Enterprise wide or local to one division, department, or project Centrally initiated or driven by user demand
