BI Articles : Business intelligence tools and software by Ekta Verma

There are numerous business intelligence tools and software for implementing highly developed business logics in your organization. Microsoft Builds Business Intelligence into Office Software to provide a better experience when users access and work with business information from within the suite of applications they already use to work, collaborate and manage their business.

From the Microsoft analysis, BI market has experienced a 17 percent compound annual growth rate over the last 10 years. Excel has remained the most widely used end-user tool for BI, but it has lacked the control needed for supporting enterprise-class decision-making and compliance processes. For the coming days, Microsoft focuses on integrating new BI functionality into Office and ensuring Office connectivity to the SQL Server platform.

Companies are using business intelligence software for more than simple data mining. They're using it to identify hot sellers, cut costs and discover new business.
