The document discusses business intelligence and what it means to have smarter knowledge about a business. It notes that currently many businesses rely on outdated spreadsheets, meetings with accountants, and best judgments to understand their business. This can lead to problems like unexpected costs and cash flow issues. The document envisions having knowledge that is more precise and accurate, connects all parts of the business, predicts the future, and is always improving based on new data. This type of knowledge would allow businesses to forecast jobs, respond correctly to changes, and have answers to any business questions on demand through easy to use dashboards.
