Yellowfin releases Social and Collaborative BI white paper

Global Business Intelligence (BI) software vendor, Yellowfin, has released a new white paper on Social and Collaborative BI. The paper outlines the crucial components that make up an effective and complete Social and Collaborative BI platform, and explains its ability to facilitate pervasive sharing, discussion and better, faster fact-based decision-making.

The white paper – Social and Collaborative Business Intelligence – is available for free download from the Yellowfin website.

The merging of BI with Web 2.0 and social networking technologies has given rise to the new concept of Social and Collaborative BI – a type of collaborative decision-making (CDM) platform. This platform, like social Web 2.0 technologies, is designed around the premise that anyone should be able to share content and contribute to discussion, anywhere and anytime.

“Social and Collaborative BI provides an answer to the persistent problem that, despite increasing amounts of money being spent on BI, many organizations are failing to utilize reporting and analytics effectively and continue to make poor business decisions. The potential is exciting and nothing short of transformational,” said Yellowfin CEO, Glen Rabie.

“Yellowfin is currently the only BI solution on the market that offers a complete CDM module straight ‘out-of-the-box’. Yellowfin’s Social BI components facilitate better, faster, less labor-intensive organization-wide CDM.”
