Industrial revolutions were spurred on by technological revolutions, and each one of these generated a large economic cycle of around 50 years; 25 years are can be described as ‘peak years’ and the other 25 as ‘recession, depression or crisis’.
Business Intelligence is a decision support tool that permits us to work in real time, have interactive access, analysis and critical manipulation of data concerning the economic sector for producers, companies, organisations or other public entities. These applications present users with a better understanding of matters, allowing them to identify opportunities and business limitations. Users are able to access and open up a vast amount of information, analyse how it is connected and understand the tendencies that are currently affecting their decisions. It also prevents a possible loss of knowledge that comes from a massive accumulation of data that is hard to read, interpret or use.
