Forrester Research defines business intelligence as "A set of methodologies, processes, architectures and technologies that transform raw data into meaningful and useful information used to enable more effective strategic, tactical and operational insights and decision-making".
The business intelligence architecture includes several elements that Trigent and its clients can address. Organizations collect, process, store and report on enormous amounts of transactional data from their information systems such as CRM, ERP, HRM and SCM. In order to improve market share, competitive advantage and profitability, organizations need to analyze the business activities and information surrounding their markets, competitors, customers, products, pricing, partners, suppliers and profitability. Organizations also need to maintain dashboards, alerts, ad hoc reporting, embedded reporting, web-based reporting, metrics/key performance indicators, and scorecards.
