Business Intelligence is a process of turning data into business information that is readily accessible and available to support analysis and decision making.  Business Intelligence often involve the use of an Integrated Data Warehouse where information can be modeled for high-speed end-user access.

Typically in the Ralph Kimball methodology, these solutions are referred to as DW/BI solutions. The concept of DW/BI has evolved over the last 15 years and is today a key component of most modern organization’s Information Technology environments.

DW/BI solutions are deployed to provide a single, integrated repository of information from which business users and business analysts can create their own reports, ask their own questions, perform their own analysis and ask what-if questions of the underlying data without having to make requests to the Information Technology Department. Typically, users of DW/BI solutions are dealing with thousands and even a hundred thousand rows at a time to come up with the desired result.
