• “One of the reasons we got ourselves into this economic mess is we really didn’t make use of the data that we have. Nobody put it beNer than the CIO of a very large European bank, who said: ‘We had the data, but we didn’t have the informaJon.’ … that’s what BI is all about.”

• Data • Structured ... transacJons in JDE and other applicaJons
– OLTP … online transacJon processing • Unstructured … not discussed in this session
• InformaJon • BI?
– Business Intelligence: presumptuous at least from a technology only view, people must act on it.
