Multicast
The delivery of information to stakeholders when and where they need it, is a critical component of information collaboration. Yellowfin’s multicast module provides simply the best delivery mechanisms available in reporting today.
Yellowfin’s report writer enables you to transform raw data into information - allowing your business experts to make informed business decisions. Unless these reports are put into the hands of decision makers however, the ability to make those decisions will be limited.

Subscription and Administrator Broadcast
Yellowfin supports both push and pull report delivery. Without the need for IT administrator intervention, Yellowfin users can subscribe to reports, as well as subscribe other users to relevant reports.
- Reports can be pushed to both users and non-users of Yellowfin further reducing administration costs and enabling deployment to very large stakeholder populations.
- Where Access filters are in place, Yellowfin will filter report output uniquely for each user, ensuring 100% security and personalisation.

Delivery Driven by Frequency, Rules or Alerts
Information overload is often the cause of failed business intelligence projects. Rather than pushing every report to your user base on a scheduled basis exception based reporting should be utilised.
With Yellowfin, users can choose the basis for report distribution. Through business rules,alerts such as data thresholds or simple frequency timings your users can select the most appropriate mechanism to meet their needs. This will assist in reducing the amount of non-relevant reports distributed and contribute to the success of your project.
