Business intelligence (BI) is a broad category of applications and technologies for gathering, storing, analyzing, and providing access to data in order to help enterprise users make better business decisions. Software Works, Incorporated has been helping companies with their Business Intelligence needs for many years. Companies often require literally hundreds of different reports and queries to address the needs of the different groups within the organization. Because of this, IT staffs can quickly become overloaded with an endless number of user requests. In the past few years, Business Intelligence tools have entered the market that provide simple, yet powerful, user interfaces. This empowers the departmental users to create reports and queries that access their specific data in the format that they need, without requiring assistance from professional software developers. Today, the most popular tool used for Business Intelligence reporting is Business Objects.
