Business intelligence (BI) is a general category of applications and technologies for collecting, storing, analyzing, and providing access to data to help users make better and faster decisions. BI applications include the activities of decision support systems, query and reporting, online analytical processing (OLAP), statistical analysis, forecasting, and data mining. The purpose of this research is to explore and survey several tools that fall under the BI umbrella and investigate their applicability within the context of military decision making. This survey will help military decision makers select the right BI tool for the right decision problem using the right technology. This would result in reduced IT costs by eliminating redundancy and consolidating computing resources, accelerated decision making, and improved accuracy, consistency, and relevance of decisions by providing a single version of truth.
