A Framework for Business Intelligence Applications

摘要：

A number of decision support system(DSS)frameworks have been formulated that describe the characteristics of DSS and can be applied in the business intelligence(BI)applications space. This research effort examines several of these frameworks using published case-based research. The purpose is to determine whether the characteristics outlined by the frameworks are observed in these published BI cases.This is useful in determining those characteristics of actual BI that lead to their classification.Overall,the research supports the framework characteristics. However,the results indicate that the source,time horizon,and currency of information do not have a strong relationship to the ad hoc and institutional BI decision categories,whereas the range of users,operational efficiency,duration of use,and need for rapid development are distinguishing characteristics of BI applications. Further,prototyping is the only development methodology used in creating BI applications. Additional research should be conducted regarding other BI applications and DSS frameworks.
