Abstract

The concept of business intelligence stress that firms should use all information available in order to increase efficiency of decision making. Usual technologies for business intelligence are data warehousing, OLAP and data mining, but they refer only to internal data. Valuable external data that is freely available at the Web should also be used. In the paper we propose retrieval of public data with software agents for business intelligence. Software agent for retrieving data about stolen cars in Croatia is developed. Data base of stolen cars in Croatia in last four years is created, and is used for better decision making in insurance company.
