This document discusses four key business intelligence applications: sales intelligence, visualization, reporting, and performance management. Sales intelligence uses customer relationship management software and BI tools to get a sophisticated view of customers and make informed sales decisions. Visualization presents business data in intuitive visual formats to help employees draw insights. Reporting uses BI to generate staffing, expense, sales, and customer service reports to monitor business performance. Performance management allows organizations to monitor goal progress based on time frames and use data to gauge overall productivity.
