Business
Intelligence
Effective decision
making requires good business intelligence. However, many
organizations have yet to implement a comprehensive strategy or
define their own business intelligence standards. Gradually,
more companies are becoming aware of the importance of business
intelligence. IDC estimates that companies will spend $5.7
billion on business intelligence in 2009.
Business
intelligence entails grouping information, measuring it,
providing access to end users, and sharing changes to
information. Perimeter shapes your company’s disparate data into

The core
capabilities of business intelligence fall into three
components: enterprise performance management (EPM), information
discovery and delivery (IDD), and information management. EPM
applications align actions with strategy by enabling assignment
of company goals to users or groups of users. IDD helps simplify
the way that business decision makers use information, allowing
users to access, analyze, navigate, and share information across
the organization. Information management products and services
help improve data quality, compliance, consistency, and accuracy
