They published the article “Governments rely more and more on Business Intelligence” in a Special Edition on the topic of Business Intelligence in May 2010.

BI applications are on the agenda of many European public decision-makers. Gloria Miller underlines the importance of Business Intelligence solutions for the public sector. With the public sector playing a leading role in counteracting the world financial crisis, improving the effectiveness of government is more essential than ever before. The public sector is giving more emphasis to the use of business intelligence, for investigating and implementing new ideas, managing and reporting on organizational performance, and controlling regulatory compliance. Therefore, the use of business intelligence is one of the key pillars, that public organizations can use in today’s economic environment.
