Technology Added to Business Intelligence Equals Success

By Ines Spencer


Businesses have long been using technology in its operations. It has made work much easier and quicker. It greatly helps them save money especially with the economy being very unpredictable. They can now order the raw materials for their products through the internet. The expenses for traveling to the source of the materials can now be used to other important things. Contacting clients is now very easy especially regarding some important matters that need to be discussed immediately. Aside from technology, business intelligence also helps the businessman and his business greatly. This computer-based technique has long been very effective and useful in making a business progress. Combining both would lead to an insurmountable success.

The extracting, figuring out, and studying of business data, and technologies, process, skills, and the right application and use of information to make a sound decision are referred to as business intelligence. The normal functions of this computer technique are reporting, on-line analytical processing, analytics, data mining, process mining, complex event processing, business performance management, benchmarking, text mining, and predictive analytics. The benefits of the said computer method is it acquires more knowledge and understanding of the needs and decision-making process of the clients; provides the latest market trend with regards to economy, culture, and technology; and accommodates large information about clients. The information used by the technology is the income sales of products or related expenses.

With the help of the development of technology, business intelligence has become more important to company decision-makers. Gathering of data from customers, business partners, employees, and operations has always been part of running a business. Using the information collected proactively has become very essential for businesses. Anticipating problems rather than reacting to it is what BI brings to businesses. Preemptive decisions are based on firm facts not on educated guesses.

No matter how good the products are of a company, when there are no preparations made for the future, it would lead to nothing. Proper assessment of the current market trend and having a vision would help. It is much better if it is backed up by good information, technology, and skills. Business intelligence can help overcome any difficulties or shortcomings experienced right now and also in the future.

When some thing is not yet perfect, it only indicates that more improvement can be made. BI is an example of it. Although BI has significantly helped companies, only the past performances had been given insights and failed to give the present status as well as future assessments. With new technologies coming in, BI will surely enhance its work. Nevertheless, this is still evolving and can bring lots of risk to companies.

Technology has helped various companies significantly. Paired with business intelligence, it gave companies the opportunity to enhance their business and be at the top of their industry. With the continued improvement of technology, the said computer method is becoming more helpful to its users. The combination of the two can bring so much success to a business.
