What is Collaborative Business Intelligence (CBI)?

The term "collaborative" refers to an organized group of people who work towards achieving a common goal. Business intelligence, on the other hand, is defined as a process driven by technology that is used for data analysis and presentation of actionable information that assists executives, managers, and other corporate end-users to make informed business decisions. 

Collaborative Business Intelligence (CBI) is a concept that involves the integration of Business Intelligence (BI) and collaborative technological tools in order to support an organization in making new and improved business decisions.
