1. Business intelligence involves the acquisition of useful information to drive the business, doing appropriate decisions. Every business has his own rules, “the way the management look at their business”. For example, a manufacturer can look at the business in terms of: products, customers, time periods (dimensions) and looking at costs, revenues, margins (measures). Customers can be segmented, products can be categorised etc. The way the management looks at the business is their idea of business rules. When thinking a business intelligence project, you must transfer these rules into an information-business model. For example, you will create a hierarchy between products and their categories, and you will also build a cube using a structure like “products X customers X time period X revenue”. Again: usually the time period is “per month”, but you can also find businesses that works “per week” or “per decade”, and consequently you will specify the time period dimension; and if the company sells over the world, you will be asked to express the revenue in terms of different national money (dollars, euros, …) etc. These are business rules: concepts and ideas about the business that you will transfer from the mind of the management to the business intelligence system.
