Enterprise BI is a topic in itself, and there are several factors that require special consideration when integrating
a Big Data solution such as HDInsight with an enterprise BI system. You should carefully evaluate the feasibility of
integrating HDInsight and the benefits you can get out of it. The ability to combine multiple data sources in a personal
data model enables you to have a more flexible approach to data exploration that goes beyond the constraints of a
formally managed corporate data warehouse. Users can augment reports and analyses of data from the corporate BI
solution with additional data from HDInsight to create a mash-up solution that brings data from both sources into a
single, consolidated report.

illustrates HDInsight deployment as a powerful BI and reporting tool to generate business intelligence
for better decision making.
