Abstract
The aim of this work is to demonstrate that Business Intelligence (BI) is a key issue for organizations to achieve the capabilities and attributes of resilient organizations. In the last century, organizations focused on performance, but in today’s changing environment, this is not enough: continued existence has become a key challenge. One of the main areas of Organizational Resilience research is to identify the characteristics of such organizations. BI aims to help organizations to develop sound strategies in order to survive and thrive taking advantage of data analysis. Organizations can benefit from a combined application of BI and Organizational Resilience.

Abstract
-
Very few software tools for project scheduling support multi-project resource leveling, which is an essential feature in order to obtain a feasible schedule when resources are shared between several projects. We compare the results yielded by well-known commercial scheduling software with those of the newest algorithms proposed by the latest research on this topic. We claim that these achievements in the field of Operations Research should be incorporated in commercial software in the interest of small and medium enterprises
