Business intelligence is the methodology of getting the right information to the right decision makers at the right time. It is a computer based technique used for digging, spotting and analysing business data. BI leads to fact based decision making and single version of the truth.

A BI tool replaces the usage of multiple tools. The BI tool usually takes raw data of the organisation as the input and provides useful and relevant details for the organisation in the form of graphs and reports that makes sense and can be used by the decision makers and analysers to understand and interpret the given information.

Business intelligence software is also designed to use data that is stored by the business in any type of data storage system or data warehouse.
The types of tools that make up a business intelligence software application solution generally include tools for Spreadsheets, Operational Dashboards, Data Mining, Reporting, Search (query), Analytics Processing (OLAP), Content Viewer, and other components of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Often, business intelligence software may also integrate tools designed for specific verticals, such as retail, healthcare or education.
Business intelligence software applications can be deployed in a number of ways, with the following being the most common options:
Cloud Computing (cloud) Implementation: private cloud, hybrid cloud or a public cloud.
On-Premise Instalment: deployed in-house using owned or leased equipment.
SaaS (hosted on-demand): hosted by the application service provider (ASP).
