Yellowfin Business Intelligence Placed First in Docurated List of 50 Best BI Tools for Second Time
(PRWEB) April 07, 2016 -- This is the second time that Yellowfin has topped Docurated’s review of the globe’s best BI solutions, being placed atop its 2014 list as well.
“Yellowfin BI offers Business Intelligence tools that are so easy to use, they become universal throughout a company,” stated the report. “Yellowfin’s analytics are available in many different flavors – dashboards, Data Discovery, Mobile BI, Storyboards, mapping, and Collaborative Business Intelligence – that make it simple to assess, monitor and understand any bit of data related to your business.”
Director of Product Marketing, John Ryan, said that Yellowfin’s rating in Docurated’s latest review of the BI market was evidence its business-user-oriented approach to BI was gaining further momentum.
“Yellowfin delivers unique collaborative mechanisms for connecting business people and the data experts in their organization to produce better, faster data-driven insights and decisions,” said Ryan. “Yellowfin drives widespread user adoption by enabling business users to independently access, understand and act on data, while giving IT the governance framework to make it all possible.”
Yellowfin launched the latest version of its BI platform, Yellowfin 7.2, on Thursday 31st March 2016, which revealed the vendor's unique Business Analytics Workflow – a framework to facilitate superior collaboration between data analysts and business users within the BI platform.

“The Yellowfin Business Analytics Workflow provides a clear path and process for business users to directly connect with the BI and data experts in their organization, to raise trackable tasks and data quality issues, brainstorm ideas, collectively review content and take better, faster data-driven action,” said Ryan.
Industry expert and Associate Analyst at Bloor Research, David Norris, said that Yellowfin’s collaborative Business Analytics Workflow framework addressed an important gap in the BI market.
“Importantly, Yellowfin isn’t a BI tool attempting to make the business user a techie,” said Norris. “It is about presenting data to users in an attractive visual representation, backed-up with some of the most sophisticated collaboration tools embedded into a BI platform on the market.
“I find Yellowfin’s approach very interesting and agree that the key is not to try and make everyone a data analyst. After all, as far as the business is concerned, data is IT’s domain – the business is only generally interested in the insights and outcomes of data analysis.”
