It is your company and no one should tell you what to do. However, what you do need is more information and support that will allow you to make the best decisions. The more information and data you have available to you, the easier it will be to make the right decision. Business intelligence is using all the data you can to make the right decision for your company. This can include facilities management and energy management support. The key to these things is not only running a company correctly, but having the right information.

However, if you do not have the proper information, or broken down information based on each individual facility, you will usually make a mistake or wrong decision.
