Business Intelligence is an activity based on a set of processes and software tools. Its aim is to support the decisional making phase, by extracting information from synthetical data. As the success of such an activity depends on the effectiveness of several business processes and the correct integration of independent software tools, nowadays standardization is strongly needed, in order to define a methodology to obtain high-quality information, really useful for the improvement of the business processes of an Information System. In this context, our study focuses on a framework that encapsulates current emerging criteria to evaluate every facet of Business Intelligence systems. In our case study, we tested the criteria to evaluate Business Intelligence platforms, by developing a real OLAP application in an Academic Information System.

Abstract
Business Intelligence is an activity based on a set of processes and software tools. Its aim is to support the decisional making phase, by extracting information from synthetical data. As the success of such an activity depends on the effectiveness of several business processes and the correct integration of independent software tools, nowadays standardization is strongly needed, in order to define a methodology to obtain high-quality information, really useful for the improvement of the business processes of an Information System. In this context, our study focuses on a framework that encapsulates current emerging criteria to evaluate every facet of Business Intelligence systems. In our case study, we tested the criteria to evaluate Business Intelligence platforms, by developing a real OLAP application in an Academic Information System.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
