Overview:

Business Intelligence (BI) is a well-established and generally well-known software category that spans a wide range of functional capabilities. Specific definitions will vary from customer to customer and vendor to vendor, but most will agree that business intelligence typically refers to the challenge of providing business users with meaningful information from company data sources to help those users make better, more informed business decisions. Traditionally, it has been time-consuming and expensive for a given customer to evaluate, select, purchase, and maintain the right BI technology to address their needs. While information on BI is readily available from many different sources, customers still face significant challenges relative to time, expense, and accuracy throughout BI technology investigation, vendor engagement, and final technology selection.
