Intelligent information systems for business analysis are a strategic tool that enables different sized organizations to analyze and manage huge amounts of business information. Therefore, in recent years, the information and communication technology industry continuously generates intelligent solutions that perform fast retrieval, transformation, organization, analysis and summarization of large amounts of data. Simultaneously the type and number of business intelligent solutions on the market is steadily growing, which in turn can affect the possibility of failure in the process of perception and implementation of the chosen solution in Bulgarian small and medium-sized enterprises. In this sense, the analysis performed in the presented article is valuable for Bulgarian managers, as it is aimed at studying the factors - the most common threats, obstacles and limitations that affect the process of introducing modern business intelligent systems as part of the policy for improvement of the existing information and communication system in Bulgarian small and medium-sized enterprises.
Nowadays, it has become clear that the success of different sized organizations depends on the speed at which they adapt to the dynamic changes and challenges of competitive market structures. At the same time, it is considered that information is a key element for identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the business activities of organizations and the trends for their future development and market consolidation. Modern universities face major challenges related to the processing of large amounts of data, which are continuously generated by different systems and units, but in most cases, the information flow is not analysed effectively enough. Namely the efficient extraction of educational data is an important aspect for the analysis of the state of the university as well as the effective planning of its future development. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to consider the capabilities of intelligent business analysis information systems to monitor and control the large volumes of data generated at the University of Forestry, Bulgaria. Implementing such a system will help transform data into valuable information and knowledge that will assist academic leadership in taking timely, informed, reasoned managerial decisions and actions, taking into account the dynamic and competitive educational environment and rapidly changing educational needs in higher education.
