* ERP systems are good at supporting business processes and activities but they lack decision-making capabilities. Integrating business intelligence and ERP will enable business managers to make profitable decisions.
* Business intelligence tools and ERP’s ability to combine a large set of raw data into one place enables business managers to make sound data-based decisions that would prove beneficial to get better business outcomes.
* Business Intelligence could be used as data warehousing, dashboarding, ad-hoc analysis in an ERP system. ERP can convert data into information but Business Intelligence is necessary for transforming information into intelligence. Business Intelligence tools are top enhancements that organizations plan to use to integrate systems and tap into data flows.
* Software Companies define what they need in the first place at the beginning of a project and once it is implemented, they achieve their objectives and then comes the time when the company needs to leverage those data which are implemented on the application in order to gather more insightful answer for a fast-paced decision making.
* In an ERP system, the main type of business intelligence metrics used is Operational Reporting. Various Business Processes of an ERP System should be necessarily monitored at a strategic, tactical and operational level which in turn can be important for the decision making for the various levels of the company.
