The basic idea of the research is inspired by the vivid controversy about the quality of higher education and the unsatisfying position of the Bulgarian higher educational institutions in the international and European charts. However, there is free potential for better institutional management of the educational institutions within the framework of the autonomy secured by law. This potential can be found in the presence of large datasets. Intelligence systems need to be established in the universities in order to have systematic and automatic integration, data processing and analysis of these large datasets. The objective of the research is to present the capabilities of the business intelligence system that has been developed and established at the D. A. Tsenov Academy of Economics, Svishtov. Such system would dramatically increase the capacity of the academic leaderships for taking prompt, informed, well-grounded and proactive governing decisions – to be more adequate regarding the more and more dynamic and rival educational environment, as well as the rapidly changing learning needs of the students.
