Importance of Information
A critical component for the success of the modern
organization is its ability innovate and to take advantage of
available information.
This challenge becomes more difficult with the constantly
increasing volume of information, both internal and external to
an organization.
As more and more organization are becoming “knowledge-
centric” the need for access to the right information increases.

Technology Watch: observation and analysis of scientific,
technologic and economic environment of the organization to
identify threats and development opportunities.
François Jakobiak
Information Watch (definition)
Method used by an organization to identify strategic
elements in a flow of information. No spy, no state-of-
art, information watch is a guide for managers to solve
problems.

1,6/1,6 cmInformation Watch vs Business Intelligence
Information Watch (IW) is a process made of several steps,
starting with the needs assessment (information watch topics
definition) and ending with decision and action.
IW deals with search and information collection, since
Business Intelligence (BI) adds more notions to this concept.
BI = Information Watch + information protection + lobbying
information protection = ability to preserve information – related to the company’s
knowledge, know-how and strategic choices – against negligence and mailicious intent

Business Intelligence (BI) is the process of in-depth
analysis of detailed business data. Includes database and
application technologies, as well as analysis practices.
Sometimes used synonymously with “decision support,”
though BI is technically much broader, potentially
encompassing knowledge management, enterprise
resource planning, and data mining, among other
practices.

BI represents a set of coordinated
actions of search, analysis, circulation
and protection of information. This
information is legally collected and
should be useful to the economic
actors for their individual or collective
business strategies.

Business Intelligence
Term BI is also used as a broad category of application
programs and technologies for gathering, storing, analyzing,
and providing access to data to help enterprise users make
better business decisions.
BI applications include the activities of decision support,
query and reporting, online analytical processing (OLAP),
statistical analysis, forecasting, and data mining.

“BI is designed only for big companies!”
Is Business Intelligence for all?
It is not true, because setting a
heavy structure is unnecessary!
The BI process can be scaled to the
organization’s size, its human and financial
resources. BI process can focus on priority
topics.

Importance of Business Intelligence
BI, if implemented properly within an organization, provide
decision-makers with a more effective method of working
with information in a way that is relevant to them.
By transforming musty mountains of raw data into
accurate, relevant and useful information, BI
results in better decision-making.

The foreseeable effects of successfully implemented BI are:
• time saving, improved information aquiring
• improvement of (human & non-human) network usage
• lower costs of information aquisition
• changes of attitudes (among staff)

Organizing a BI process
Implementing a BI process is a long-term plan!
Take a professional project approach and provide
the project with all necessary resources.
Assure continuity!
Anticipate and estimate the costs (e.g. information acquiring costs)
and assess the effects (operating reports) – return on investment.
