Business Intelligence (BI) systems are the current generation of
systems passing information to users.
BI
systems are characterised by
flexibility
ease of use
timeliness
automation
There
have been many generations of software that provide business information
to users. Earlier editions of this type of software were most frequently
used by specialist analysts, who were specifically trained and knowledgeable.
Information
is provided direct to managers rather than being processed by analysts.
Information can be specifically targeted so that the items that
require action by a particular individual are displayed to them,
rather than hidden in a jumble of figures. Information can be provided
graphically, and within the context of other related information,
permitting faster and more accurate decision making.
