What is Business Intelligence (BI)?
Business intelligence (BI) is a technology-driven process for analyzing data and presenting actionable information which helps executives, managers and other corporate users make informed business decisions.
BI encompasses a wide variety of tools, applications and methodologies that enable organizations to collect data from internal systems and external sources, prepare it for analysis, develop and run queries against that data and create reports, dashboards and data visualizations to make the analytical results available to corporate decision-makers, as well as operational workers.
Business intelligence can translate Organization’s collected data into insights of their business processes. The insights can be used to create strategic business decisions that improve productivity, increase revenue and accelerate growth.
The benefits of business intelligence tools are:
- Accelerating and improving decision-making

BI data can include historical information stored in a data warehouse, as well as new data gathered from source systems as it is generated, enabling BI tools to support both strategic and tactical decision-making processes.
