Hi,

I don't understand your last post, so I'll just comment on your first post.

which one is correct??could u give me the reasons??thx

A1.Does Business Intelligence Have Benefits for Company Decision Making?

A2.Does Business Intelligence Provide Benefits for Company Decision Making? 

A3.Does Business Intelligence Has Have Benefits for Company Decision Making? 

The capital letters make all the above seem like titles, eg for an article or a presentation. 

A1 and A2 are fine. In A3, you need the bare, uninflected  infinitive. The inflection is in the word 'does'.

 

B1.offers a solution  to maintain the data regularly in order to improve the quality of data in the systems.

B2.offers a solution to regular data maintenance by sysadmin in order to improve the quality of data in the systems.

B3.offers a solution to regularly maintain the data in order to improve the quality of data in the systems. 

All of these B versions are incomplete sentences, because they have no subject.

'. . . a solution to maintain . . . ' is awkward and unclear. I'd say ' . . . a solution that maintains . . . '

Best wishes, Clive
