BI, or business intelligence, is a critical component to long-term success in today’s global competitive market. The purpose of business intelligence is to assist in the decision making process by making the right information available when it is needed. Not only is BI crucial, but it also must be thoroughly developed strategically around a vision that supports the progressive needs of the enterprise. Recent surveys reveal that BI is the number one priority for CIO’s. Business intelligence gathers massive quantities of raw data and processes it in to intuitive models that are continuously being updated as new data arrives.

If productive people are the most valuable asset of an organization, data is its most precious boon. Estimates show that 90% of accessible information comes from hundreds of millions of digital data elements from social networks, Internet searches, e-commerce, emails, SMS, GPS and many more. CFOs cannot afford to ignore these massive pools of information growing at a staggering pace. Simply collecting them for reporting purposes is not enough.

His reasoning was, of course, that the Soviets would take years to get through the data regardless what their spies told them and thus not actually build a bomb for many more years.
