The simplest way to support decision - making is to use the knowledge and skills in question concise presentation, presentation, summary and weighting of information. A higher level of decision support is the use of tools that make the relationships between the different components of the decision problem and the uncertain effects of the environment visible. For the operation of companies, the continuous development of decision support functions, the application of business intelligence (BI) tools, is a priority, since those facilitate the undertaking of management tasks as support instruments. All these methods are info-communication solutions, which are applicable to link and analyse data, obtained from various data sources of the company systems. These are reporting-oriented, focussing on decision support.
