Abstract
This paper deals with the relation between the use of business intelligence (BI) solutions and corporate performance. The content is based on the research, analysis, and synthesis of findings published on this topic in scientific journals. The majority of papers published on this topic begin by introducing the concept of BI, its components, and possible benefits. As could perhaps be expected, two groups of papers can be identified: (a) review papers of existing research and (b) publications of original empirical research findings. Authors of the former group of papers tend to almost unquestioningly support the notion that the introduction of BI solutions is mainly beneficial to companies; authors of the latter group of papers are somewhat divided in their view on this matter. On the one hand, their findings support the notion BI solutions do seem to have positive influence on corporate performance; on the other hand, they warn that there may be more factors coming into play that are to be considered more carefully.
