Leading web-based BI provider, Yellowfin, will unveil their milestone
5.0 release in May 2010. This release includes significant
enhancements; including an integrated in-memory database, that turbo
charges analysis. Yellowfin 5.0 provides even greater insight, rapid
deployment and requires minimal IT involvement.

Yellowfin, already makes Business Intelligence easy, but now much
faster as well. With the inclusion of the new in-memory database
technology, Yellowfin 5.0 can perform lightning fast queries that are
faster to deploy, by following just three simple steps:

1. Connect to your data source
2. Map your data
3. Visualize

Glen Rabie, CEO at Yellowfin says, “This is a quantum leap in BI
performance. With Yellowfin 5.0 there is no need for the complex and
expensive processes of developing ETL scripts and data warehouses. It
really is a simple process that our beta customers have already been
delighted by.

Yellowfin enables users to see and know their business in new ways and
interactively explore data without limits”. “Yellowfin 5.0 was the
result of understanding how our customers wanted to work within the BI
environment. The typical scenario was that deployment got bogged down
due to query performance and the need to build data marts or data
warehouses that would address these performance issues. As a result
business users had to wait for this tedious non-value added step to be
completed before they could even write a single report, leading to
frustration. So Yellowfin developed an in-memory database to address
this need” says Rabie.

Successful BI projects are measured by two core criteria: the speed of
delivery and the speed of analysis. Traditionally there was a trade-
off between the two. To achieve the analysis speeds required -
complex project steps are required. However, Yellowfin 5.0 has two
major features that deliver a significant speed enhancement over
traditional BI tools.

These are:
1. An embedded in-memory database
2. A fully integrated user interface for all development steps

“What this means, is that with Yellowfin users can rapidly develop and
publish reports and dashboards since the number and complexity of the
steps required for delivering a reporting project is significantly
reduced (minimizing project costs and risks) without the need to
compromise on the speed and efficiency of the reporting and analysis.
And that thrills the business user.” Says Rabie

With Yellowfin 5.0, In-memory analytics delivers decision insight with
the agility that businesses demand. It’s a win for business users, who
gain self-service analysis capabilities, and for IT departments, which
can spend far less time on query analysis, cube building, aggregate
table design, and other time- consuming performance-tuning tasks.

Yellowfin 5.0 is making Business Intelligence even easier. Rapid
deployment through an in-memory database as a data source and improved
filtering are just some of the new features that Yellowfin5.0 promises
businesses, helping them make better, faster decisions to improve
their business outcomes.
