Business Intelligence (BI)

Business intelligence refers to the technologies and practices of applying information to make decisions. BI is different from data warehousing. It is also more comprehensive than data mining. Information shows its real value only when people can actually use and share it. Usable information should be credible, timely, relevant, easy-to-use, and in context.
