BI Solutions

And here we start with a blog about Business Intelligence solutions. I hope this will be an interesting journey for everyone and also i hope that each day i will get to post something new about this domain. In order to start with something i decided to describe a litlle bit this domain.

According to google (define: business intelligence) and more exactly to www.damacoc.org/presentations/2007_04_11_Adelman_DWGlossary.doc Business Intelligence means:

"The capability to perform in-depth analysis and possibly data mining, of detailed business data, providing real and significant information to business users. Business intelligence usually makes use of tools designed to easily access data warehouse data."

The first definition found on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_intelligence) is:
"
The term business intelligence (BI) dates to 1958.[1] It refers to technologies, applications, and practices for the collection, integration, analysis, and presentation of business information and also sometimes to the information itself. The purpose of business intelligence is to support better business decision making."
