There is no ROI in Business Intelligence; unless you make a decision.
Yellowfin has launched its 5.1 release to an expectant international
audience via a series of webinars. The release, known as "Visualize,
Socialize, Decide" incorporates social media style features to boost
corporate knowledge-sharing capabilities and facilitate faster, more
accurate decision-making.
"The key to introducing social layering into BI, is make it
convenient", says Justin Hewitt, Yellowfin's COO. "Yellowfin 5.1 makes
it easy for people to share their knowledge, record insights about the
data and collaborate with other subject matter experts". "Yellowfin
wants our customers to make decisions; that is, the key function of
BI".
"We have had a fantastic response and a lot of interest in what we
believe is the industry leading collaborative features within
Yellowfin", reports Yellowfin's CEO Glen Rabie. "For me, this quote
from a BI Industry veteran, summed up yesterday’s webinar launch of
5.1"
“When I saw Social BI mentioned in the sales blurb, I thought it
sounded like a gimmick. Having seen it, I think it’s GENIUS. Yellowfin
should patent it quickly before the big players in the BI space jump
all over it.”
If you missed the Webinar, you can still watch the PowerPoint.
