International Business Intelligence (BI) vendor, Yellowfin, has been recognized amongst Australia’s must successful and ‘cool’ businesses, winning the Global Growth category at Anthill Magazine’s 2012 Cool Company Awards.
The Global Growth Award is bestowed upon an Australian company that has achieved outstanding global growth, or demonstrated the potential to expand outside its traditional boundaries and grow globally, through innovative or entrepreneurial means.
“Yellowfin’s unique product and company culture has helped to differentiate us from competitors, and we’re now reaping the benefits of that distinctive approach through expansive company growth and industry recognition,” said Yellowfin CEO, Glen Rabie. “This award validates our approach to the Business Intelligence marketplace, and renews our mandate to keep making Business Intelligence as easy-to-use and accessible as possible for people of all business backgrounds.”
Over 700 aspiring ‘cool companies’ were nominated for the 2012 awards, making ‘The Cools’ one of Australia’s largest business award programs.
“Taking on the world market is invariably ‘cool’”, said Anthill Magazine Editor-In-Chief, James Tuckerman, in relation to Yellowfin’s Global Growth Award win.
The Cool Company Awards, now in its seventh year, is a national program that was developed in 2006 to recognize Australian companies that are doing things differently to bring about positive change.
“The Cool Company Awards are extremely egalitarian,” said Tuckerman. “Judging takes into account far more than mere business variables, such as revenue and wealth. The criteria are geared to consider other qualities, from the disruptive nature of the product or service to the culture of the organization.”
The 2012 Cool Company Award winners were announced at an event in Melbourne on 6 December 2012.
