| What is Business Intelligence? |
Business intelligence (BI) refers to computer-based techniques used in spotting, digging-out,and analyzing business data, such as sales revenue by products and/or departments, or by associated costs and incomes.
BI technologies provide historical, current, and predictive views of business operations. Common functions of business intelligence technologies are reporting, online analytical processing, analytics, data mining, business performance management, benchmarking, text mining, and predictive analytics.
Business intelligence aims to support better business decision-making. Thus a BI system can be called a decision support system.Though the term business intelligence is sometimes used as a synonym for competitive intelligence, because they both support decision making, BI uses technologies, processes, and applications to analyze mostly internal, structured data and business processes while competitive intelligence gathers, analyzes and disseminates information with a topical focus on company competitors. Business intelligence understood broadly can include the subset of competitive intelligence

A BI solution should be built keeping in mind the business requirements as Business is the most important aspect a BI solution is supposed to serve. A "one tool fits all" should not be used as this will compel the usage of one particular technology to be used all across. F5 Framework recommend that we should look at the business requirements first and then try to match it with a BI tool. There are certain types of requirements that can be met by a tool A and some other types of requirements that can be met better by tool B. So we recommend that we pick up a combination of tools and try to see what best can be served by a one and what best can be served by the other(s).
