SharePoint BI Features

Business Intelligence is the process by which you gain insight into a business by collecting data in a way that makes it easy for end users to understand and analyze the data to support business decision making.

Business Intelligence solutions are also known as decision support systems

The basic premise of a business intelligence solution is that something has to be measureable for it to be manageable.
