This document discusses business intelligence and institutional research. It defines business intelligence as using data to support evidence-based decision making. Institutional research involves measuring, comparing and setting priorities to help institutions assess what they are doing and how to improve. The document also discusses using a university's library and institutional repository as data sources and ensuring data quality and definitions are clear.
3. Definition: JISC
“Evidence-based decision-making and the
processes that gather, present, and use that
evidence base. It can extend from providing
evidence to support potential students’ decisions
whether or not to apply for a course, through
evidence to support individual faculty and staff
members, teams and departments, to evidence
to support strategic decisions for the whole
organisation.”

“Supporting management decisions:
Good and relevant data will facilitate a
better understanding of where savings
can be made, allow an assessment of
how much can be or has been saved
from efficiency initiatives (for example
through baselining costs), and support
the development of benchmarks.”
5. Wikipedia
Business intelligence (BI) is a set of
theories, methodologies, processes,
architectures, and technologies that
transform raw data into meaningful and
useful information for business purposes.
BI can handle large amounts of information to
help identify and develop new opportunities.
Making use of new opportunities and
implementing an effective strategy can
provide a competitive market advantage and
long-term stability.
