I decided that I should blog about the world of BI.

My company has just bought Panorama's NovaView, which is a BI tool that focus on the UI level. this tool shows beautiful dashboards, including metrics, charts, cubes and more. I think that it worth looking - it's just beautiful.

So, as a beginning: What is BI? the google definition ("define:BI") says: "Technologies that help companies make better business decisions". I think it summarize it up quite well, but I can add one more thing: Technologies that make/help managers and decision-makers to see, or to understand much better what they have in their hands, what have they done so far and what can they do with their resources in the future.

What I'm learning right now is the Panorama tools, advanced MDX and some other stuff.

Wish me good luck.
