Business Intelligence (BI)

What is Business Intelligence?

Business Intelligence (BI) is about making the information within your organisation available in a timely and consistent manner in order to provide valuable insights that lead to confident decisions and actions that improve business performance.

With the right BI solution, business users have access to timely and accurate information that can empower them to make decisions based on fact. It can enable business users to proactively leverage opportunities, to identify trends in customer behaviour, more accurately budget and forecast revenues and provide a single, trusted source of business information that will help you to manage your business more efficiently.

Business Intelligence combines processes such as making data accessible from different parts of the organisation, methods such as Key Performance Indicators and Balanced Scorecards technology such databases, visualisation and analytical tools and people, to organise key information that users at all levels require in order to make effective decisions.

A major part of any manager’s job is to make decisions. If you can improve the overall quality of your organisation’s decision-making process, you’ll improve the overall effectiveness of your organisation. Business Intelligence will help your organisation make better decisions. BI allows business users to analyse and better understand their organisation’s plans and results. It provides insight into what’s working correctly while identifying potential problem areas in time for corrective actions to be taken. It can be used to recognise opportunities as well as problems, and alert your organisation to potential issues when exception conditions occur—such as sales dropping 10% below forecast or inventory falling below a threshold value. Since BI products include a variety of components, organisations can pick those that are most appropriate for the task at hand and for the experience level of their individual employees. While in the past, only technical specialists typically used BI tools, most business people can now successfully use them as well. This BI self-sufficiency has provided business users with quicker response time and the ability to drill down and perform interactive analysis while enabling IT to more effectively and more efficiently serve its organizations. While many managers and supervisors pride themselves on their intuition, BI provides tools to help verify their insights and even discover new ones. It permits business users to explore results at a high level and then drill down to analyse the underlying details. Business Intelligence is one of the primary keys to effective decision-making
