In-memory analytics
Fast analysis, better insight and rapid deployment with minimal IT involvement! 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.
CSV as a supported data source
Yellowfin is unique - it embraces CSV as a legitimate data source for your enterprise reporting. Use CSV files to create Yellowfin reports and merge data from these sources with the rest of your enterprise data.
Behind the scenes
Yellowfin is completely browser-based and platform independent. How so? Well, it has been developed in Java and ships with Tomcat as its web server (of course you can choose your own industry leading web server). There are no plugins (Applets or Flash Components) delivered to the browser - just HTML5 and all that good stuff.
