We've moved from desktop to SaaS, to a real UX focus. Now we're seeing new vendors that are analytics-first. They’re creating new applications that are challenging the established players. Historically, applications were transaction-first; you build your software thinking about your workflow or the transactions that you want people to do.
Understandably, however, the many automation, AI and machine learning technologies that come with modern analytics solutions can sometimes be hard to keep up with. One area we get asked a lot about is ABM, which we offer with Yellowfin Signals, and what exact advantages it brings to the table for everyday analysis and insight generation.
One of the changes that we've seen happening in the analyst space recently is a huge shift in thinking. Gartner in particular is now talking about augmented consumers and multi-experience analytics. To me, this is really interesting because they’re talking about the business user and how they want to work and consume data. In the past it was all about the data analyst, but focusing on users opens up an entirely new level of thinking.
With 9.5, we've focused on providing new capabilities and enhancements for everyone involved in the data to design workflow - analysts, developers, users - that streamline processes, introduce functional improvements and enrich the analytic experience for all. For the full list of updates, please read the release notes and check out our release highlights video below to see some of these new enhancements in action for yourself.

So, why Australia? Sun, sand, surf, etc.
By 2025, Gartner predicts data stories will be the most widespread way of consuming analytics. It’s far from a fad - it’s a part of modern analytics you can’t afford to overlook. However, are you still unsure of what data storytelling is, or why there's a sudden buzz?
If you already have some brand awareness, so people know who you are and what you do, there are three ways that you can accelerate your sales in a virtual environment.
Let’s get this out of the way: To understand the much discussed ’death of the dashboard' proclamation, the phrase needs to be viewed under a different lens beyond the literal. Firstly, it's not a new concept at all: Yellowfin have been saying it for years. The problem is in the current confusing interpretation around what it means for business intelligence. In short, dashboards aren’t actually dying, nor is their usefulness for certain users spent.
To build a successful online brand, your team need to identify and understand who you are and what you do for them. There are a couple of really important steps that you need to take to do this, and some things that are good to be aware of, which we share below.
Yellowfin frequently speaks with prospects that list operational reporting as a critical requirement when buying an analytics solution. Despite the usefulness of the latest features, standard reporting capabilities is still an essential part of their BI checklist. But why?
