Databases and data-analysis tools
All organisations, irrespective of size or market sector, generate and use significant amounts of information in their day-to-day operations. How this information is stored and exploited can be the difference between success and failure.
In many organsations data is stored in a number of different databases (held on different computer systems in different data formats) for example, the purchasing, sales and stock control databases could all be running on completely different hardware and software.
Consequently, obtaining the answer to a business question that requires data from more than one database is not a simple task. This is why Business Intelligence (BI) is becoming an important resource in many organsations. BI is about exploiting the data stored in your databases to the advantage of your business.
