Information Technology represents a wide dimension with many types of data from which the information can be obtained. Without a complex system that is able to analyze the different types of data and return the obtained result to the user, the information will no longer have value. The concept of Business Intelligence analyzes and converts data into information in order to improve the decision making process.
The objectives of the research are to analyze the BI concept and the technologies used to enable its applications within the strategic management. In addition, the research studies the software solutions and strategic goals of BI and how its influences on the management of an organization. The research explains the benefits of this concept and development trends.
The research explores the capabilities of BI related with IT tools, by categorizing these instruments depending on the field that covers. Based on the research area and questions, exploratory research was chosen. This methodology is appropriate because the work includes reviewing literature and analyzing the data in order to define the subjects that the topic includes and draws a clear conclusion about the BI use today. This selected method is used principally to advance understanding of the BI topic to the category of people that are interested in this new trend.
The outputs of this research are ideas regarding the use of BI information and communication technologies within the strategic management and an comparative analysis between BI software solutions. In addition, the research provides information about the development trends in the area of BI.
