Business intelligence, or BI, is an term that refers to a system or process of analysing data to gain more insight into the business. There are a variety of methods used to analyse an organization’s raw data and there are many software packages designed to help make the data manageable.

Companies can use BI to improve decision making, cut costs, explore market opportunities, understand customer behavior, and identify new business opportunities just to name a few. BI is more than just corporate reporting and more than a set of tools to coax data out of your systems.

The last 10 years we have seen many changes in business world, but which one has been both a blessing and curse? If you ask us we would say the amount of data collected. It is a blessing in that there is a wealth of information available and great insights can be drawn from it, but a curse because it overwhelms with it’s complexity. Large businesses take advantage of this data and mine it for customer behaviour, patterns, trends, etc. Unfortunately many small to medium sized businesses feel that they cannot mine their own data because they do not have the resources to accomplish it. We can show how data mining will help your business zero in on your customers or target markets. It is a powerful tool for business and if you are not using the data to your advantage you are not maximizing your business potential.
