Business Intelligence enables companies to make better decisions by showing current and historical data within the business context. Analysts can leverage BI to provide benchmarks on performance and competitors, to enable the organization to function more smoothly and efficiently. In addition, analysts can easily identify market trends to increase sales or revenue. When used effectively, the right data can be useful for anything from compliance to hiring. Here are some ways in which business intelligence can enable companies to make smarter data-driven decisions:

• Identify ways to increase profits
• Analyzing customer behavior
• Compare data with competitors
• Monitoring performance
• Improving operations
• Predicting success
• Identify market trends
• Discovering complications or problems

The data used by business intelligence can be collected from a variety of sources, including business management systems, customer data, and marketing data. Business intelligence uses advanced data analysis techniques to identify trends and relationships among data. These analyses can be used to develop forecasting models and to identify business opportunities.

Business intelligence requires a appropriate planning and implementation to ensure that data are collected, stored, and analyzed securely and accurately.

Many self-service business intelligence tools and platforms simplify the analysis process. This makes it easier for people to observe and understand the data, even though they do not have the technical skills to delve into it themselves. Many BI platforms are available for ad hoc reporting, data visualization, and the creation of customized dashboards for multiple levels of users. We implement the market-leading platforms: Tableau, Power BI, Qlik and SAP
