DescriptionMany organisations are flooded with data and information that come from traditional transaction processing systems as well as external sources. A common challenge is to make sense of this data - to convert this data into intelligence and an understanding of its meaning and message for the organisation. In this unit you will examine the contribution of business intelligence tools and systems and their link with enterprise-wide, business performance management. Issues are explored from the business rather than the technology perspective. A common commercial software platform will be used to demonstrate the role of systems in business intelligence.
