Business Intelligence (BI) is a concept that today due to the enormous growth of information and complexity in a variety of industries and businesses is considered vital.In this research, the literature in relation to the concept of BI, models and existing techniques for evaluating BI maturity was reviewed. This study is descriptive based on objective and data was collected using a combination of methods including in-depth interviews with experts in the field of business intelligence and literature review. In this study, business intelligence is defined as "the ability of an individual or group of individuals in solving business issues and advancement in business goals". Our review of the results of the latest research in the field showed that none of the existing models for the assessment of business intelligence maturity have all the necessary standards. These standards include comprehensiveness, clarity, and having theoretical foundation. In this study, in addition to the above shortcomings, we have highlighted the lack of definition of weights of BI factors in its growth as the other weaknesses of previous models. In this regard, we have defined the relative importance of BI factors. The results of this study were proposing the concept of BI and a comprehensive model for BI Maturity Assessment and this was achieved by the combination of current models.

Along with advances in technology and communications, global markets and competition between Companies are intensifying. Literature review of Methodologies to build Information Systems suggests that by development of Methodologies, we are seeing the involvement of users, increase System reliability, and moving from emphasis on Tools, Techniques and programming languages to methodologies and the basic concepts of the System. In general, each generation of information systems development methodologies has a specific concentration on a specific area, whereas now in Iran for all spheres used the same methodology that will lead to reduce productivity and efficiency of Organizations and Companies at performing of assignments and decrease of competitiveness. Choose an appropriate information system for automated billing of Customs with their large number and variety of products, as well because it is difficult to evaluating the variety of methodologies, so it is more difficult and requires an integrated methodology decision. Therefore, deciding to choose between several options of an Information System is a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Process. In this paper, we have used a combination of ANP and DEMATEL to select an appropriate Information System for Custom's billing system. Finally, after implementation of a hybrid model, revealed that in our study, second generation methodologies could be the best choice.
