The tecnological business intelligence capabilities and business intelligence system flexibility — The underlying relationship

Existing studies of business intelligence (BI) assume that the characteristics of business intelligence systems (BIS), called BI capabilities, are critically important for BI implementation project success. In this paper we hypothesize that technological BI Capabilities have more complex interrelationship than it is supposed to be in the contemporary academic literature devoted to the field of BI. We also pay special attention to the relationship between technological BI Capabilities and BIS Flexibility. The results demonstrate that understanding relationship between technological BI capabilities is crucial to the analysis of the reasons of BI implementation projects success and failure. We believe that our study will contribute to the knowledge of both the professionals and academics in the field.
