In the digital age, business intelligence (BI) systems have emerged as pivotal assets enabling companies to transform raw data into actionable insights. This is important in helping the business gain a competitive advantage through a better and informed decision-making process. This study investigates how leading technology corporations like Microsoft, Google and Amazon leverage business intelligence. Big data analytics and artificial intelligence enhance BI to optimize operations, maintain market dominance, and foster innovation. This paper uses a qualitative multiple case study methodology to analyze strategic BI deployment, cultural integration, and outcome metrics across these tech giants. The findings reveal that a cohesive BI strategy aligned with corporate vision, supported by AI-driven analytics and a data-centric culture, significantly drives operational agility, customer-centric innovation, and financial performance. The study concludes with actionable recommendations for firms aspiring to emulate these successes.
