11i Implement Daily Business Intelligence

• Daily Business Intelligence (DBI) is one of the reporting frameworks available with Oracle E-Business Intelligence.

• DBI can give you accurate and timely information by using self-service Intelligence pages.

Daily Business Intelligence is an integrated, ready-to-use reporting and analysis application that enables senior managers and executives to see relevant, accurate, and timely information by using self-service pages.

When a user logs in to Daily Business Intelligence, the information that is displayed on a page changes depending on the roles that are assigned to that user and the user’s Oracle Applications security level. That way, each manager views only the pages and the information that is relevant to his or her management area.
