Business Intelligence (BI) tools are types of application software that collect and process large amounts of unstructured data from internal and external systems, including books, journals, documents, health records, images, files, emails, videos, and other business sources. Although not as flexible as business analytics tools, BI tools provide a way to collect data, primarily through queries, to find information. They also aid in the preparation of analysis data so that reports, dashboards and data visualization can be generated. The results enable staff and managers to speed up and improve decision-making, improve operational efficiency, identify new income potentials, detect market trends, report genuine KPIs and identify new business opportunities.
Typically used for easier querying and reporting of business data, business intelligence tools can combine a wide range of data analysis applications including ad hoc analysis and querying, enterprise reporting, online analytical processing (OLAP), mobile BI, real-time BI, operational BI, cloud and software as a service BI, open-source BI, collaborative BI, and location intelligence. It may also include visualization software for charts and tools for the creation of BI dashboards and performance scorecards, which display business metrics and KPIs for easily understandable visualization.
