So far millions of dollars have been spent on software for management of relation with customers, institution resource planning, supply chain management and organization projects management. Also the software can improve efficacy and efficiency; they too create a great deal of data. Furthermore subjects such as data availability, internet usage and intranet have been transformed into new management bases to support decision making. Creation of information systems for managers can directly help them to do their works better; namely help them in decision making. Usage of different tools for supporting decision making depends on the nature of problem. Business intelligence is also a relatively new domain which first guided by information technology and business providers to the extent that much of business intelligence literatures extracted from industries and academic researchers have done little in this regard.
