Abstract
Business intelligence (BI) systems are data-driven DSS, focusing on the manipulation of large volumes of company data in data warehouses. As other types of DSS, such as model-driven DSS, communication-driven DSS, and knowledge-driven DSS (Section 1.5.3), BI systems suffer from lack of cognitive decision support, despite their powerful data analysis functions. This chapter will discuss the basic BI concepts, architecture and some vendors’ BI products. The drawbacks of today’s BI are also analyzed in details.
