Corporations and IT specialists who have experience with various business intelligence vendors are pretty familiar with various enterprise software available. Then you have the people who generalize BI and tag it with the other applications out there. Contrary to popular belief, BI provides openings for businesses that other software solutions cannot match. Whether its traditional BI, enterprise BI, data warehousing, or cloud computing, BI can prove extremely beneficial for your business.

Listed below are a few reasons how business intelligence may be beneficial to you:

BI provides so many different services, the IT market is saturated with non-business intelligence vendors who advertise "BI" solutions. When you are browsing BI software you may get caught up with all of the bells and whistles of the various products. The product you may be looking to buy may perform one of the functions needed but does it perform all of them in one solution? Adequate BI solutions can perform most these desired functions, if not all, in one solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    best way to wash vertical blinds made of fabric?
    I'd like to wash some vertical blinds made of fabric. I'm assuming that taking them down and tossing them into the washer, on the delicate cycle, will work fine. At the bottom of each blind there's a rectangular weight sewn into the blind and can't be removed. I'm assuming it won't rust after the fact. :)

    Any suggestions or thing I should be wary of? Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      my guess is if you put them in the washer they might fall apart you might be better off doing them in the bathtub and hand wash with detergent then hand from shower rod to drip dry and hang them back up when damp the weight at the bottom should pull to take wrinkles out

  5. QUESTION:
    If you have made roman blinds, can you please answer this?
    If you have made roman blinds yourself, can you please tell me:
    *What pattern did you use?
    *Were you happy with the results?

    I have a double window that I will probably make two blinds for, though they will be mounted close to one another. It's along the lines of 73" wide in total (two 35" inch windows plus the in-between framing stuff - but all these numbers are rough guesses) and don't think I could do just one blind. Am I right?

    I want to do interior mount because it is in the kitchen and I want to keep it as tucked in as possible (thus the roman blinds rather than curtains).

    I look forward to hearing from you and I will really appreciate your advice!

    • ANSWER:
      If you were mounting outside you could do one blind as long as you had several good supports. But you stated you were doing inside mounts, so 2 blinds are the only way you can go. Just one tip, when you do 2 or more blinds have a surface large enough to lay them side by side as you are constructing them, to mark the rods, and match the pattern of the fabric if you have one, the same with horizontal striped fabric.
