BUSINESS INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Business Intelligence (BI) is a combination of processes that include business analysis, data collection, and the infrastructure used to improve decision making.In short, Business Intelligence consolidates information from a business, building a comprehensive view to enable that business to use the data collected to make improvements, eliminate weaknesses, and adapt to market trends and needs.Business Intelligence has as main objectives: to collect data through management tools and/or specialized software; to store the collected data, in compliance with the General Law of Data Protection; to enable data analysis, the "heart" of Business Intelligence, to extract useful information; to produce reports, combining analysis, tools and the visualization of the collected data.Based on these objectives, Business Intelligence supports informed decision making - and this competitive advantage is just one of the benefits that BI provides.
