Business intelligence (BI) is a set of theories, methodologies, architectures, and technologies that transform raw data into meaningful and useful information. While operational systems - such as IMSMANG and many others - are designed and optimised for data entry, updates, etc., a BI system is usually designed for analysing and visualising data. It is thus a read-only system.
The Mine Action INTelligence Tool (MINT -- the name is a reference to Business Intelligence) has been introduced to allow analysing, visualising and reporting on mine action data from various sources. It is a tool and service provided by the GICHD to the wider mine action community.
