ecommbi, an integrator of high performance e-commerce and business monitoring tools, has incorporated Yellowfin’s renowned ease-of-use BI solution and Actian’s record-breaking Vectorwise database to handle rapidly growing data requirements of larger businesses.

“Social media, mobile devices and new infrastructure, such as smart meters, mean that more data is being collected than ever before,” said ecommbi Director of Sales, Matt Cowie. “We wanted to make reporting and analysis faster, more intuitive and more affordable for the masses. After a long search we chose the Vectorwise database because it offers unparalleled performance on large data sets, and Yellowfin because it’s the only BI application we found that delivers on the promise of ‘actionable insight’, makes BI more intuitive, is collaborative and is so compatible on mobile devices.”
