Business intelligence (BI) successfully combines business history and software to interpret data to analyze a business’s footprint and create action plans for success in the future. Business intelligence will look at the effects of various business decisions and summarize those effects in easy-to-understand reports, graphs, charts, and summaries.
I have a lot of use cases for this solution, but my main use is for key performance indicators. We use embedded BI in NetSuite for difficult reports.
