    Business intelligence and data warehousing
    Often BI applications use data gathered from a data warehouse or a data mart.
    A data warehouse is a copy of analytical data that facilitates decision support. However, not all data warehouses are used for business intelligence, nor do all business intelligence applications require a data warehouse.
