Yellowfin 6.1 Delivers a Better Kind of Self Service Business Intelligence
Global Business Intelligence (BI) vendor, Yellowfin, has made Yellowfin 6.1, its latest BI release, publicly available in a series of launch Webinars across Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 June.
Yellowfin CEO, Glen Rabie, said that the release, made available to existing partners on Thursday 31 May, reflected Yellowfin's continued commitment to meet and exceed customer expectations of, and demand for, consumer-oriented BI.
"The BI industry is in the midst of dramatic change," said Rabie. "Now more than ever before, BI deployments are focused on equipping business users with the operational information they need to perform - BI is no longer just a tool for data analysts. Yellowfin's first place ranking in this year's Dresner Advisory Service [DAS] Wisdom of Crowds Business Intelligence Market Study is evidence of our enhanced capacity to deliver on that focus."
Yellowfin received the equal highest overall ranking in DAS' 2012 Wisdom of BI Market Study, and the highest outright score in the study's "Emerging Business Intelligence Vendors" sub group. The global study compared and ranked 17 of the world's foremost BI vendors on a five-point scale, across 33 different criteria, based on seven categories, including: Sales experience, value, quality and usefulness of product, quality of technical support, quality and value of consulting services, integrity and whether existing clients would recommend the vendor and its product to others.
