Abstract:  

In the context of helping any company to move from the desire to obtain performance to action through better and faster decisions, facilities like data warehouse, business intelligence systems and decisions support systems are available now to make it possible. The performance is an abstract, extremely important, concept which has to be put into a proper perspective from the point of view of the organization, of the performance indicators taken into consideration, of the models proposed for establishing performance and of the chosen software. The study case has as objectives the analysis of the most important financial and economic indicators at the level of some organizations from the same sector of activity, the selection of performance ratios and determining a particular model of analysis, a “score” type of function for which we will use modern techniques of multidimensional analysis, like Data Mining techniques. In our case, the data used to calculate the economic and financial ratios were collected from companies’ annual reports, using the Internet as the primary source. Also, a comparative multidimensional analysis of the organizations, of products types, sales area and customers can offer a panoramic view over the performance in that sector of activity.
