Business Intelligence (BI) refers to processes, technologies, skills, applications and practices used to support decision making. Here are some common functions of Business Intelligence Technologies:
- reporting
- OLAP
- data mining
- analytics
- business performance management
- benchmarking
- text mining
- business analysis
Business Intelligence is often referred to as a Decision Support System (DSS) because the goal is to provide better hard-factual information that can be used in making decisions. There are three types of information that BI can provide:
- historical
- current
- predictive
Background:
IBM researcher Hans Peter Luhn used the term business intelligence in a 1958 article. Luhn defined intelligence as: "the ability to apprehend the interrelationships of presented facts in such a way as to guide action towards a desired goal."
In 1989 Howard Dresner (later a Gartner Group analyst) suggested that BI should be used as an broad term to describe "concepts and methods to improve business decision making by using fact-based support systems."

Hi Wade, I am not a programmer, however I have learned to use programs that help me parse, convert and re-organize data. Once I have compiled data using db3, I can retrieve it using an old (but quick) dos based program.
I am basically a one man operation and really do not have much time to learn all these programs, however, I would like to take my processes to the next level and automate as much as I can.
Any recommendations or questions would be welcome.
I really like what you have put together on this site.
Thanks,
Richard
I have a second request Wade, please do not allow my comments to be public.
Thanks,
Richard
