Assignment guide

Your company is currently working in [Assumed Domain] for 2 years. For a new, young
company, the competition in the market is very high. Therefore, the Board of Director has
decided to apply Business Intelligence to improve the company business process by making
better decisions.
The Board of Directors assigns a small group including you in Research & Development
Department to study business intelligence to apply for the company in the coming years.
You need to research about business processes and decision support processes in the company
and identify the types of data (unstructured, semi-structured or structured) generated by these
processes with examples. You also need to research about current software used in the
business process or decision support process and evaluate these usages (benefits and
drawbacks).
Next you need to understand the types of support for decision-making at different levels
(operational, tactical and strategic) within the company and study which business intelligence
features can help on that types of support. Study the information systems or technologies (of
BI) can be used in this case, compare and contrast them to conclude which should be used.
Your group needs to present the research results to the board in a presentation of 30 minutes.
