Melbourne, 20 August 2019 - Yellowfin, a world-leading and innovative analytics vendor, has been named an Overall Value Index Leader by Ventana Research having scored in the top three vendors in the Value Index for Collaborative Analytics and Business Intelligence. 

Ventana Research stated, “Yellowfin is redefining what Collaborative BI means in the BI industry.” They continued, “Data-driven insights are only valuable when shared”. Yellowfin’s positioning as an Overall Value Index Leader demonstrates the analytics suite’s ability to facilitate that sharing of insights with ease.

“Our research shows that nearly four in 10 organizations are using collaboration to support analytics processes and nearly nine in 10 plan to use these capabilities eventually,” said David Menninger, SVP & Research Director, Ventana Research. “The Value Index provides the industry’s most comprehensive assessment of vendors that provide collaborative analytics and business intelligence technologies. Congratulations to Yellowfin for being an Overall Value Index Leader in the Collaborative Analytics and Business Intelligence Value Index, and for enabling collaboration among analytic professionals around the world.”

Ventana Research analysed 15 vendors across seven evaluation categories and scored the BI and analytics platforms accordingly. Yellowfin scored in the top three for the Capability category designed to assess how well the product supports communication and interaction among individuals involved in analytics business intelligence processes.

“Yellowfin has lead the innovation of social media-style collaboration capabilities that removes the need to copy and paste information into other communication platforms,” said Ivan Seow, Head of Product Marketing at Yellowfin. “The ability to share insights is critical to the analytics users and being named an Overall Value Index Leader by Ventana Research demonstrates Yellowfin’s ability to facilitate collaborative business decision making.”
