BI technologies
What’s the deal with Business Intelligence. How does it put businesses on the right path?
How can it boost productivity and improve transparency? These are the fundamental questions that must be addressed.
Business intelligence (BI) refers to the tools, applications, and methods that are used to obtain, integrate, analyse, and present business data. The aim is to encourage and enhance better business decision-making practices.
Progression is unavoidable. BI wasn’t a requirement just a few years ago, and businesses could all get by without it, but now it’s a must-have. With it, companies can secure accountability, shape crystal clear business processes, and minimise potential risks related to their processes, supply chain, and so on.
BI trends are leading the way. The market, and demand, are moving at the speed of light. It’s no longer a case of but when, all business should be utilising data and data-driven approaches.
SaaS BI, Data protection, Data Discovery/Visualization, Predictive and prescriptive analytics tools, Embedded analytics, Collaborative business intelligence, the list goes on. These are just a few of the BI trends that have emerged in the last few years.

- Improves Key Performance Indicators, accuracy and precision (KPIs)
- Allows you to conduct qualitative as well as quantitative research
- Aids in the discovery of customer insights
- Overall, BI has a major effect on the turnover level of businesses (by applying predictive analytics to sales and marketing efforts, for instance).
Consider the following existing landscape regarding Supply Chain Management. The Supply Chain is a difficult place to manage; a lack of accountability here can have serious consequences such as large delays, inefficiency, and distribution issues. Within upgraded Supply Chains, Business Intelligence (BI) improves efficiency whilst saving time and money.
