Business intelligence is a capability, supported by a soItware suite that provides insight into your business and its operating environment to support more productive and more proIitable decisions. It helps to Iilter out personal biases and irrelevant past experiences to isolate the most meaningIul data that relates directly to the decisions you need to make Ior today and the Iuture oI your business. BI diIIers Irom standard reporting in that reporting adopts an historical perspective to show what has happened in the past. It does not tell you why it happened, or whether it may happen in the same way again in the Iuture. Why do I need BI? A business is designed to move Iorward, not backward. Using backward Iacing inIormation to drive a Iorward Iacing business doesn`t make sense and can lead to massive mistakes through incorrect assumptions, and decisions made Ior political rather than logical reasons.
