Business intelligence (BI) is all about providing timely and accurate information to support business decisions
The raw data needed to make good decisions is often stored in multiple databases and in different formats, so IT must build a “data warehouse”

Challenges for BI in PLM
Often no single point of access for product information
No complete view of product data for business decisions ‐ Information is disparate and not accessible by all authorized team members
Lots of people need access, not just Engineering
Too many systems to learn and use and many are domain specific
Executives lack easy, fast and accurate visibility into product‐centric information
