Business intelligence is a broad category of applications and technology for gathering, accessing and analyzing data to help enterprise users make better business decisions. It is imperative to have an in-depth knowledge about factors such as your customers, competitors, business partners, economic environment, and internal operations to make effective and good quality business decisions.

It's believed that business intelligence, especially from business objects, is one of the best ways for economic development. Furthermore, Yemen has a lot of pressure nowadays from international communities to improve its economy. Economic development is an important task; consequently, decision makers and economists must work to achieve this by adopting new technology, strategies and good planning.

However, Yemeni businesses need reliable information for making decision and planning. For example, the Telecom industry has been developing over the last five years; as result of this we now have three competitors in the market and a new one is opening soon. The banking industry is facing big challenges in the coming years; therefore the private and public sectors in Yemen should seriously consider implementing a Business Intelligence solution to help with these changes.

Business objects solutions can help companies in Yemen in many ways.
