The companies are running behind tools for Business Intelligence - some are busy creating; others are busy evaluating; and some busy spending! In all this process, the actual definition of Business Intelligence is simply lost!
Is this what defines Business Intelligence? You simply just club your own data, check out aggregations and take a decision! This aggregated data can help you take decisions, agreed! But I don't believe this is intelligence. Even if it is to some extent, the overall process can't be termed as 1% of actual Business Intelligence.
Here goes few questions that is pinging my mind quite strongly:
1. Top Management take decisions; Developers defines the processes - I believe this is simply the biggest disconnect! I agree that it goes through a pretty strong process, but can developers think the way the management thinks? They can try to replicate, but not to a full extent!
2. Are BI tools available today doing something extraordinary, apart from following a routine pattern? Are they giving information which even management missed to give a thought to?
3. And above all, is there any logic that system in itself is working on based on little input? Or is it just taking whole bunch of inputs and then just doing procedural processing?
4. For past so many years, I have not heard Artificial Intelligence getting into action. Can we use it here to improve businesses?
One simple point, Business Intelligence should not be restricted to just defining few rules and searching data for the same. Let systems be capable enough to process data to help businesses make decisions! Is there any possibility? The arena is wide open! Business Intelligence thinking just needs to be revised! Think beyond the obvious!!!
