Business intelligence systems are designed to analyze data and provide actionable information to help executives, managers, and other corporate end users make informed business decisions. Decision support systems (DSS), on the other hand, are a subset of business intelligence systems and are specifically designed to help managers make decisions by analyzing data from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, business intelligence. The primary function of DSS is to assist in problem-solving and decision-making, not to monitor situations and identify problems/opportunities.
