Business Intelligence and Data Analytics in Enterprise Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing complexity of enterprise systems, combined with the huge amount of real-time generated data, raises new challenges related to the capacity of organizations to extract value, to support informed decisions, and to adapt in dynamic contexts. In light of these challenges, business intelligence and data analytics are no longer simple analytic tools, but components of a larger adaptive, intelligent digital ecosystem.

This Special Issue of Systems aims to explore the way that business intelligence, supported by recent advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, transforms enterprise systems’ architecture and functions. We invite researchers, practitioners, and professionals in related fields to contribute their work that approaches theoretical perspectives and practical applications about the integration of  intelligent analytical solutions in complex systems.

This Special Issue encourages contributions that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• Augmented business intelligence and AI application in automated insight generation;
• BI integration with enterprise information systems (ERP, CRM, SCM, etc.);
• BI and data analytics as factors of digital transformation and organizational resilience;
• Using machine learning in predictive and prescriptive analytics in organizations;
• Process mining and business process intelligence;
• New data architectures and modeling approaches to support advanced analytics;
• Modern data infrastructures (data mesh and data fabric) and real-time analysis;
• Data governance and ethical aspects of AI-based analytics.

The main purpose of this Special Issue is to provide interdisciplinary perspectives that link systems theory, data science, organizational management, and AI technologies in order to find answers to the complex challenges of the real world.
