While the exact origin of the term ‘Business Intelligence’ is unknown, there have been mentions of it as far back as the 1950s, when H.P. Luhn described Business Intelligence as an automated system to spread information to different sections of an organization. The system, in theory, would use data-processing machines to automatically abstract and encode documents and create actionable points and profiles from the data. Then said documents would be automatically processed and sent to the responsible department for action.
