Previously, business intelligence was largely used by big businesses to help them make informed business decisions and to identify their target market. Smaller businesses, nowadays, make further use of business intelligence for the very same reason. That said, smaller businesses may only need to utilise business intelligence at a smaller scale. Some small businesses may require a business intelligence platform with bigger scope. Modern business intelligence platforms, like ABiQ, make it easy for small businesses to use big data, and insightful analysis, to help them make critical business decisions.
