2. Hyperion is a database that allows you to access the data
very quickly. The company was bought by Oracle in 2007
and Oracle has continued to improve the product.
The fancy name for Hyperion is Business intelligence and it aims to support better
business decision-making. Thus a BI system can be called a decision support system
(DSS).Though the term business intelligence is sometimes used as a synonym for
competitive intelligence, because they both support decision making, BI uses
technologies, processes, and applications to analyze mostly internal, structured data
and business processes while competitive intelligence gathers, analyzes and
disseminates information with a topical focus on company competitors.
