Business intelligence (BI) is a set of theories, methodologies, architectures, and technologies that transform raw data into meaningful and useful information<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_intelligence</ref>. While operational systems - such as {{IMSMANG}} and many others - are designed and optimised for data entry, and updates, etc., a BI system is usually read-only and designed for '''analysing ''' and '''visualising ''' data. It The overall objective is to inform the decision making process, thus a readallow for evidence-based decision making. An important criterion of the underlying data is its '''quality''' -meaningful analysis can only systembe achieved if the input data is accurate, complete, and of known quality.
