What Is Operational Business Intelligence?
Operational BI is the practice of getting important, real-time data to your people on the front lines - whether they're on the phone with a customer or on the road with inventory - so they can make quick, informed decisions. Operational BI makes this possible by embedding key analytics right into day-to-day business processes.
