What is Business Intelligence...
Business intelligence (BI) is a business management term which refers to applications and technologies which are used to gather, provide access to, and analyze data and information about their company operations. Business intelligence systems can help companies have a more comprehensive knowledge of the factors affecting their business, such as metrics on sales, production, internal operations, and they can help companies to make better business decisions. Business Intelligence should not be confused with competitive intelligence, which is a separate management concept.
Business Intelligence is not a product nor a system. In fact it is an architecture and a collection of integrated functional and operational decision-support applications and databases that provides the business community easy access to business data. Of course it specifically focuses on the decision-support applications and databases as well.
BI Includes
BI decision-support applications facilitate many activities, including:
Multidimensional Analysis
Another term for multidimensional analysis is multivariate analysis. So This term is derived from a specific aspect of this type of analysis, i would say, to analyze measures in another words facts from the perspective of multiple variables or characteristics. These variables (characteristics) usually describe business objects or dimensions. For example, in Adempiere Product Types like Item, Resource, Expense and Service describes product , Assume product being the business objects or dimensions.

In other words, a dimension can be built for a business object or for a variable of that business object as well.For More Info Click Here
