However, to develop a framework that fits with business intelligence in higher education, it is important to take into account the necessary components. There are several existing BI framework that can be used according to the structure since the layer, components, and processes are difference depends on the reasons of implementation. Therefore, an analysis of the important layers, components, and processes to develop a framework will be discussed in this paper.
