 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.

Copyright © 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.

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.
