Explanation of BI
Definition: "Business intelligence is the process of gathering high-quality and meaningful information about the subject matter being researched that will help the individual(s) analyzing the information, draws conclusions or make assumptions.”
"Ideal BI system gives an organization's employees, partners, and supplier's easy access to the information they need to effectively do their jobs, and the ability to analyze and easily share this information with others" [1].
