Business Intelligence platforms
A Business Intelligence platform (BI Suite, BI management system) is a BI environament which is integrated, self-contained (doesn't need any other external applications to work) and complete. The BI platform's engine should have an ability to query databases using SQL (relational) and MDX (multidimensional).
Typically a BI suite provides the following major functional BI components:
- Static, Operational Reporting
- Dynamic Ad-Hoc Querying (OLAP)
- Dashboards
- A BI portal based on a common repository
- Might be closely integrated with ETL engine
