What is Business Intelligence (BI)?
BI allows us to:
 pull together disparate data sources
 deliver key information to the
people who need it, quickly and
efficiently
 make evidence driven decisions at
the strategic level
 present data in a variety of output
formats, tailored for target users
and audiences
