What is BI?
Business intelligence (BI) is a collection of integrated decision-support applications and databases that provide the business community easy access to business data. BI uses data as a strategic asset of the company that, when turned into information and applied as knowledge, gives the company an advantage over its competitors. For data to become a strategic asset, each unique data element must be carefully managed and reused to provide a maximum return on asset. If the data is not good enough, the information coming out of BI will be substandard and should probably not be acted on.
