Business Intelligence (BI) is the technology of applying data for decision making. BI is different from Data Warehouse which only focuses on archiving. BI is also much more comprehensive than Data Mining. With a BI system, the data show its real values which many people can use and share concurrently. Accuracy, timeliness, suitability, user-friendliness and contextuality of the data are the most important elements in BI technology.
