Under the term Business Intelligence (BI) one understands methods and processes for the collection, analysis and representation of electronically held business data of a given enterprise. The aim is to gain important insights, this facilitating better operative and strategic decision making in line with organisational goals. With the help of analytical concepts and methods as well as IT systems, information about the enterprise, the competition or relevant market trends may be scrutinised and evaluated under varying aspects.
For the purpose of quicker and more effective decision making, fme AG advises customers in the industry specific use of Business Intelligence systems and their optimised integration within existing business processes.
