Yellowfin to Brief BBBT on Collaborative Decision Making and the BI Consumer
Boulder, Colorado (PRWEB) October 29, 2014 -- On Friday, October 31, 2014, Yellowfin CEO, Glen Rabie, and Director of Product Marketing, John Ryan, will discuss how BI consumers most want to consume data, make collaborative decisions, and tell stories with that data.
“I used to think that ‘everyone’ would want to be a data analyst, and that Yellowfin would enable the process. In reality, though, only around five percent of users will actually build content and conduct sophisticated data analysis in the majority of deployments – especially large implementations,” said Rabie. “The other 95 percent of people are information consumers, using the insights afforded by pre-built dashboards and reports to improve decision making.”
BBBT Founder, Claudia Imhoff, said that it was “refreshing” to have Yellowfin return to the BBBT.
“Yellowfin’s approach has always been practical – grounded in years spent building BI environments for so many companies,” said Imhoff. “It shows in both their software and customer satisfaction. I look forward to hearing about their latest innovations and functionality.”
A podcast summarizing the presentation will be available at the BBBT podcasts page, and a video of the presentation will be available at the BBBT videos page.
