Overview/Description
Businesses generate a large amount of data in the everyday operation. This data is extremely valuable and may be used by employees at every level of an organization. Before it can be utilized optimally, it must be formatted in such a way that an enterprise can capitalize on the vast amounts of data in its possession. SAP Business Intelligence (BI) is an enterprise solution that provides businesses with a comprehensive suite of tools to collect and prepare the enterprise's data for reporting and analysis purposes. With proper use of BI, an enterprise may become more organized electronically, spot trends in business, and generally have a competitive edge simply because of its ability to securely and accurately report on and analyze a myriad of data.
