“Yellowfin 7.2 will ship with an open connector framework, enabling clients to connect to any third-party Web application,” said Yellowfin Director of Product Marketing, John Ryan. “Additionally, Yellowfin 7.2 will deliver a range of API connectors out-of-the-box, which will also include pre-built reports and dashboards, empowering uses to instantly connect, visualize and act on insights from their most important data sources.”

The ’open’ connector framework included in Yellowfin 7.2 will make it quick and easy for clients to build custom connectors for any third-party Web application.

Many of Yellowfin’s out-of-the-box connectors will enable users to analyze data from popular social media applications and marketing platforms, such as Google Analytics, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and more.

“Marketing is becoming an increasingly data-driven industry,” said Ryan. “Yellowfin’s API connectors can assist marketers to quickly analyze the impact of a raft of marketing activities and social media campaigns to demonstrate return on investment.”

The CMO Survey of 2015 – sponsored by the American Marketing Association, Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and research firm McKinsey & Company – found that spending on marketing analytics will increase 83 percent over the next three years. Another 2015 study, The State of Marketing Analytics: Insights in the age of the customer, predicted a 73 percent increase in spending on marketing analytics over the next three years, with big B2C companies increasing spend by around 100 percent over the same time period.

Yellowfin will host three concise 40-minute Yellowfin 7.2 release Webinars throughout Wednesday 16 March 2016.
