hello, i have some problems to translate the word "business need".

i'm not sure if it is the same like aim/objective/target or whether it is something completly different. here is "business need" in the context:

"Organize Information Resources to Meet Business Needs"

To get all their data sources organised in a way that is better usable for whatever the business plans on doing.

E.g. a company in advertising would need to have a clear access to data on customer trends to be able to gear its adverts towards selling to whatever target audience they needed.

Or a retail store would need a way to find out what is on stock quickly and easily by staff when a customer asks if something is around.

In a nutshell, business needs is what the business requires to do whatever it does well.
