G2 Crowd defines Business Intelligence software as a solution that helps companies gain perspective on their business operations by leveraging data from any internal sources that detail business activity and its results (financial, marketing, operations, etc). The term business intelligence according to G2 Crowd encompasses the process of transforming unstructured business data into standardized reportable datasets and visualizing that into graphs and tables that expose valuable insights into ROI and process best practices. This software often creates automated reports and dashboards that can be deployed to end users, as well as non-technical user interfaces for business users to slice and dice data on their own and preform ad hoc reporting.
