What is Business Intelligence?

LaSalle College is launching a brand new short and intensive training program to meet the market demand in business intelligence (BI). But what exactly is it?

What is business intelligence?

Business intelligence is an emerging science that refers to anything that can help a company make better informed decisions. 

We're talking about data. A lot of data! But above all, you have to be able to analyze it, extract the important information, and present it in easily understandable way.

Business intelligence covers all the processes and technologies that will allow a company's leaders to develop a better knowledge of their own organization and their competitive environment.

Business Intelligence is about transforming data into intelligence!
