If you're using Business Intelligence (BI) software to compile and review your organization's financial data, you know it can be a powerful window into the numbers, providing you with a better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and how to move forward. This is why the global market for BI is estimated to be $16.9B in 2016 by Gartner.
