Business and e-government intelligence for strategically leveraging information retrieval
by Alan D. Smith
Electronic Government, an International Journal (EG), Vol. 5, No. 1, 2008

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide practitioners of information exploration of the need for Business and e-Government Intelligence Systems (BGIS), the role such intelligence plays in competitive market research, industry, through the comparison of vendors, advantages and disadvantages, comparing the costs and benefits and some future insights. A review of the applied literature on topics that focus is on utilising Business Intelligence (BI) as a competitive tool in an online retrieval environment. The growth for BI systems may be dramatic [actual (2004, $5.3 billion; 2004, $5.6 billion) and predicted growth (2005, $6 billion; 2006, $6.5 billion; 2007, $7 billion and in 2008, $7.3 billion)], its associated costs may be equally stunning, especially in end-user query, reporting, analysis, data-mining applications and packaged data mart and/or warehousing applications. However, the figures reported in the paper should support the notion that BGIS-related systems' applications are potentially a good investment and worthy of considerable research in the knowledge management fields.
