Operational BI represents one of the fastest growing areas of business intelligence. It has the potential to inflate the benefits of BI usage throughout the organization to a user audience that has been unable to benefit from BI technology. It can provide noteworthy benefits, however operational BI must be implemented carefully. It requires a sound and robust underlying infrastructure and database processing environment.

It is important to remember, that most operational BI applications do not call for close to real-time operations, and to facilitate most users would be quite happy if action times can break the 24-hour barrier and help them make intra-day decisions.

Hence a well selected operational BI project will perk up the responsiveness of the organization, whereas at the same time it will also deliver measurable results that produce a sound return on investment.
