3. What is BI?
Business intelligence (BI) is a set of theories, methodologies, processes, architectures, and
technologies that transform raw data into meaningful and useful information for business
purposes. BI can handle large amounts of information to help identify and develop new
opportunities. Making use of new opportunities and implementing an effective strategy can
provide a competitive market advantage and long-term stability.
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, process mining, complex event processing, business
performance management, benchmarking, text mining, predictive analytics and prescriptive
analytics.
Though the term business intelligence is sometimes 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. If
understood broadly, business intelligence can include the subset of competitive intelligence.
