What is BI?
Business Intelligence (BI) is a term that defines broad applications, techniques and technologies used to transform data into meaningful information. The Power of BI is having your data aligned with the way that people perform their analysis.
BI solutions include the ability to perform query and reporting, analytics and data mining functions as well as the technologies that are used to extract, transform and load (ETL) the data. They also include the storage, retrieval and presentation of that data. BI holds a top spot in terms of impact on the organization and has been proven to:
- Produce real, measurable productivity gains
- Leverage existing knowledge
- Increase ROI on current IT, operation and business solutions
When implementing a BI solution it is important for you to choose a solution that:
- Is not only targeted at a small group of users (the analysts)
- Delivers value to the majority of the organization - regardless of role
- Can conform to changing business needs
- Provides a facility for your business to maintain a high level of system up-time
- Reduces the cost of overall maintenance and support

The truth is, a comprehensive business intelligence solution can give you the confidence that, regardless of the role or level in your organization, EACH employee is working towards making the company's vision a reality.
