We are not lagging behind in data warehousing

Managers often discover that they have tons of business reports but no real data for decision support. Business intelligence is not always enough, therefore it is supplemented by analytics and data mining which enables users to discover hidden patterns in data and predicting probabilities of events in the future. — MonitorPro winter 2012, p. 30-31

Decision support requires relevant, timely, precise and easily available information. To provide such information, companies must constantly maintain their information systems to ensure that data is available at the right time to the right people who use it for reporting, analyses and making sound business decisions. — Article published in Info SRC.SI, Year 2004/Issue 39, p. 16-18.

Business intelligence is evolving from a reactive (“What has happened?”) into a more proactive (“What will happen?”) role. In order to maximize benefits it would make sense to more tightly combine business intelligence (BI) with business process management (BPM) rather than implement each solution individually. – Article published in MonitorPro, spring 2011, p. 28-29.
