Business Intelligence
What is BI?
Business Intelligence (BI) is the practice of transforming your raw data into meaningful insights. It involves using various tools to better understand the wealth of information your business generates. This is crucial for corporate treasury, finance, and risk management where you’re dealing with vast amounts of data.
Why use BI?
Automating your treasury, finance, and risk management tasks is just the first step. Now that you have more data and more time, the real work begins. This is where Business Intelligence comes in. It helps you interpret and use the data from your automated systems to make more informed and strategic decisions.
BI provides clarity, enabling you to be proactive rather than reactive. It turns your data into visual, easy-to-understand, and actionable insights.
