520    Business Intelligence (BI): Its not just a technology. Its
       not just a methodology. Its a powerful new management 
       approach that when done right can deliver knowledge, 
       efficiency, better decisions, and profit to almost any 
       organization that uses it. When BI first came on the scene,
       it promised a lot but often failed to deliver. The missing
       element was the business-centric focus explained in The 
       Profit Impact of Business Intelligence. Written by BI 
       gurus Steve Williams and Nancy Williams, The Profit Impact
       of Business Intelligence shows step by step how you can 
       achieve the promise of BI by connecting it to your 
       organizations strategic goals, culture, and strengths 
       while correcting your BI weaknesses. Features: * Provides 
       a practical, process-oriented guide to achieve the full 
       promise of BI. * Shows how world-class companies used BI 
       to become leaders in their industries. * Helps senior 
       business and IT executives understand the strategic impact
       of BI and how they can ensure a strong payoff from their 
       BI investments. * Identifies the most common mistakes 
       organizations make in implementing BI. * Includes a 
       helpful glossary of BI terms. * Includes a BI readiness 
       assessment for your organization. * Includes Web links and
       extensive references for more information. Steve Williams,
       President and founder of DecisionPath Consulting, is a 
       leading advocate of business-driven BI design and 
       development. His consulting firm is one of the largest in 
       the specialized field of Business Intelligence and Data
