ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of our own poll-based research on the implementation and usage of Business Intelligence (BI) tools in business management. The purpose of this paper is to show the most significant and frequent issues arising from the implementation of BI tools in Slovak businesses and, at the same time, identify the factors that are key to the most effective deployment of these tools in businesses. The paper also gives a brief run-down of key factors that determine a successful implementation of BI tools, organized into an implementation management flow-chart to be used by corporate management.
