Exasol and Yellowfin.
Better Together.
Blazing-fast analytics. Governed insights. Confident decisions.
Two best-in-class platforms—one complete, open analytics stack with no vendor lock-in.
Architected for Success
Two complementary layers, each removing a specific class of friction — delivering continuous, trusted flow of insight from data to decision, without unnecessary risk or delay.
Exasol
Blazing fast analytics read database—Speeding up data for analysis
Exasol provides the performance foundation required for fast, interactive analytics at scale — enabling questions to be answered in the moment, without DBAs manually managing indexes. Deploy on-premises, hybrid, or cloud.
Yellowfin
Ask anything, governed, explained—things change, know why!
Yellowfin ensures insights remain governed, auditable, and usable - keeping analysis, storytelling, and presentation inside trusted systems, not scattered across email, Excel, and USB drives.
The real barriers to insight
Senior decision-makers are under increasing pressure to act quickly and confidently — yet insight is often delayed or undermined by challenges that compound each other across the analytics lifecycle.
Slow Time to Analysis
Reports are slow to produce and based on data from different points in time. Decisions are delayed while answers are chased across teams and tools.
Context Lost in Transit
Data is exported, copied, and recombined for presentations. Depth of analysis is hard as context is lost, and follow-up questions require significant rework.
Governance Breakdown
Data lives outside governed systems - in Excel, PowerPoint, email, USB drives. Reporting on who sees data and when is impossible.
Growing Security Risk
Security is often worked around to enable data sharing. Manual interventions introduce risk and current systems aren't helping close the gap.
Regulatory Pressure
GDPR, NIS2, and DORA demand secure access, audibility, and sovereignty. Senior management is personally liable - non-compliance means heavy fines.
The world’s most powerful analytics engine
Purpose-built to handle the most demanding data workloads at an unmatched price-to-performance ratio. Exasol eliminates the query bottlenecks that slow insight — without requiring a rip-and-replace of your existing architecture.

Works however you want
The Exasol + Yellowfin stack deploys across any infrastructure model — managed by you or your partner — so you're never locked into a single cloud or vendor's roadmap.
On-premises
Full data sovereignty. Your infrastructure, your rules. Critical for regulated industries under GDPR, NIS2, or DORA, and for organisations that must keep certain data on-site.
Hybrid
Combine the security of on-premises with the scale of the cloud. Sync data across environments without compromising governance or creating ungoverned data flows.
Cloud
Fully managed on AWS, Azure, or OVH Cloud. Scale elastically, pay on a fixed-cost model, and stay audit-ready without managing infrastructure yourself.
Winning Together
Real-world deployments by Exasol and Yellowfin delivery partners, proving what's possible when best-in-class platforms combine.
Bravinci × DELITE - Curaçao
BI dashboards built on streaming loT data from base stations across the Caribbean island of Curaçao. Bravinci deployed Exasol and Yellowfin on OVH Cloud to deliver real-time business intelligence over high-frequency sensor data — with full multi-tenant architecture, data sovereignty controls, and predictable fixed costs.
Scale-out multi-tenant architecture • On-prem data sovereignty • loT streaming BI
AIGS Insights × Woermann Brock Retail
ЗТB of operational retail data with near-real-time ETL from a legacy Progress database. AIGS migrated WB Supermarkets to Exasol + Yellowfin, achieving sub-30-second dashboard query times and dramatically reduced costs compared to MSSQL — while keeping data on-premises.
All dashboard queries under 30 seconds • Legacy DB migration • Fixed-cost model
AIGS Insights × Digital Planet
Even on a modest 200GB dataset, the switch to Exasol delivered a 10x performance improvement — proving that Exasol's columnar, in-memory architecture delivers tangible gains for organisations of every size, not only large enterprises with terabyte-scale data.
10× performance increase on a 200GB dataset
AIGS Insights × Insight Actuaries
An 8TB multi-tenant actuarial workload requiring complex SQL and DAX queries across tenant boundaries. Exasol's raw performance combined with Yellowfin's multi-tenancy and governance delivered a solution that simply wasn't achievable with the incumbent stack.
8TB multi-tenant • Complex SQL/DAX • Governed Al/ML models
Open Architecture. No Lock-In.
Single-vendor platforms force you to use what's available and cede your roadmap to that vendor's priorities. With Exasol and Yellowfin, you choose the best of the best — and stay flexible and future-proof.
Unmatched Performance
Exasol's columnar, in-memory engine delivers query speed that generic cloud warehouses can't match — without requiring you to redesign your existing architecture or retrain your teams.
Governance Built In
Yellowfin keeps all analysis, storytelling, and presentation inside governed systems. Every access is logged and auditable - meeting GDPR, NIS2, and DORA requirements by design, not by retrofit.
Predictable Costs
Both Exasol and Yellowfin offer fixed-cost, volume-based pricing — no surprise consumption bills, no hidden add-ons. A model that scales with your business, not against it.
Data Sovereignty
Choose the deployment model and jurisdiction that meets your regulatory requirements. On-premises, hybrid, or cloud — you decide where your data lives and which laws govern it.
Speed to Value
Yellowfin Launchpad (30 hours of onboarding services) and Exasol's certified partner network mean you go from evaluation to production analytics faster than any in-house build.
Real Ecosystem Support
Referral, reseller, and co-selling partner models available. Expert delivery partners handle custom builds, hosted services, and implementation. Talk to a person — not a ticket queue.
