How BI Systems Relate to Finance - We're switching gears now. That was our background on business intelligence. Now we're going to talk about BI systems and how they relate to finance. It's my attempt to depict what I think people in finance departments do as their finance system or the BI systems that they tend to interact with on a daily or weekly basis starting with operational systems. Those are the systems that run the business on a day to day basis, be it general ledger, your accounts payable, accounts receivable, sales, invoicing, things like that. Operational reporting is a confusing term. It means different things to different people and can be actually implemented in many different ways. But at a high level it's about running reports off of individual operating system. We have business intelligence which is all about generating reports off of a data warehouse or a data mart. It's obviously a little more than that, but that captures its essence in terms of the strategies and benefits of BI. And then there are other systems: the planning, the budgeting, the forecasting and the consolidation systems that Finance uses. Now, if I could draw a circle around the planning and budgeting square and the business intelligence square, I can't do that on this Web conference system, but if I could, and pull those two systems together, you get something that vendors today are touting as performance management. And performance management is now making a big difference, perhaps even bigger than BI...
