It is not uncommon to have large quantities of data, stored in different formats (Excel, Access, Text Files, MSSQL Databases, Oracle Databases and many others) and covering different aspects of the business activity (Sales, Purchase, Accounting, Inventory). However, raw data is never enough to support decision making.

The quality and efficiency of any decision making is directly dependant on the information at the disposition of the decision makers. In its turn, the available information is directly dependant on how data is exploited.

Data exploitation with the aim of supporting decision making can be divided into four steps.
