Business intelligence and data warehousing are two terms which often get misused. Some people use it as synonyms. But actually they have different meanings.
Business intelligence (BI) is a business management term, which refers to applications and technologies that are used to gather, provide access to, and analyze data and information about company operations. Business intelligence systems can help companies have a more comprehensive knowledge of the factors affecting their business, such as metrics on sales, production, internal operations, and they can help companies to make better business decisions. Business Intelligence should not be confused with competitive intelligence which is a separate management concept.
Data warehousing is the process of designing, building, and maintaining a data warehouse system.
