Re: "Business Intelligence"

Isn't "business intelligence" and oxymoron?  ;)

We are using MS SQL Server, Analysis Services, and Proclarity for out data 
warehouse.  Since we already owned the SQL server the only cost is for the 
client so it is very cost effective for us.  It also allow us to tie 
together similar date from multiple data sources (like JDE, SAP, Manage 
2000, etc.)

We primarily using BI for sales and spend data today but are considering 
an extension into other process areas.

[MAPICS-L] "Business Intelligence"






Anyone doing any "business intelligence" projects?  What types of
performance indicators are you measuring?  What tool(s) did you use?
Was it a worthwhile effort or just another good marketing idea gone
awry?

 

Thanks....
