Having a deep and updated overview of one's company, as well as the ability to forecast future developments, can represent the key to business success. It is thus fundamental to analyze several sources, both inside (e.g. management, warehouse, sales and personnel department) and outside the company.

This process of extracting knowledge from data is given the name of Business Intelligence (BI), i.e. the ability of utilizing the information gathered from several Information Systems and transforming it into a powerful decision making tool.

At  heart of such process lie the collection, integration, and storage of data through the setting-up of a datawarehouse , while the process itself goes all the way through the creation of reports from the analysis of data.
