Business Intelligence Definition
Business intelligence (BI) is the process of finding, gathering, aggregating and analysing information for decision-making (Saggion et al., 2007). It employs a set of technologies that allow the acquisition and analysis of data to improve company decision-making and work-flows (Herschel and Jones, 2005). Moss and Atre (2003) define business intelligence as an architecture and collection of integrated operational as well as decision-support applications and database that provide the business community easy access to business data.
