Concept of Business Intelligence

-
Business intelligence, or BI, is an umbrella term that refers to a variety of software applications used to analyse an organisation’s raw data. BI as a discipline is made up of several related activities, including data mining, online analytical processing, querying and reporting.
Companies use BI to improve decision making, cut costs and identify new business opportunities. BI is more than just corporate reporting and more than a set of tools to coax data out of enterprise systems. CIOs use BI to identify inefficient business processes that are ripe for re-engineering. With today’s BI tools, business folks can jump in and start analysing data themselves, rather than wait for IT to run complex reports. This democratisation of information access helps users back up — with hard numbers — business decisions that would otherwise be based only on gut feelings and anecdotes.
Although BI holds great promise, implementations can be dogged by technical and cultural challenges. Executives have to ensure that the data feeding BI applications is clean and consistent so that users trust it.

Today I was trying to use my N95 8GB phone's 5 MP camera as a webcam to my laptop. After googling I find Mobiola Web Camera 3. Installing it over laptop is really very easy and after installation it gives u a tiny piece of desktop app with the little sisx application which need to be installed to your smart phone. This sisx should be transferred to the phone through any medium (bluetooth,infra or USB) and install on your mobile right after installation. You can access your phone camera from your laptop. Although result is not as good as 5 MP should be, but still its great to use as it can be use to record the movie in AVI format right onto your PC's hard drive with relatively low size which can be shared through any video sharing apps like Youtube ,facebook etc , and YES you can use it like your natve webcam required at messengers for Video Conference.
