History

Yellowfin was founded in 2003 to address the need of business users and the growing demand for pervasive business intelligence. Its focus was on the user experience and the development of easy to use web based interfaces.

Yellowfin initially developed a ROLAP (Relational OLAP) tool for a SAAS application software vendor. This resulted in an early specialization in providing both embedded reporting capabilities to software companies as well as support for the complexities of multi-tenancy hosted environments.

The first version was 2.1 and released in 2004. This version was fairly basic and provided report writing capability only and lacked the meta-data layer and dashboard components available in later releases.

The product is based on an open server architecture and was developed in Java. The design provided the basis for subsequent releases to introduce greater levels of functionality. Amongst these was the development of a fully integrated location intelligence module and mobile BI platform. Yellowfin is recognized as a leader in the location intelligence space, as it is one of the few business intelligence tools to have a fully integrated GIS functionality as part of its reporting and dashboard solution. In 2010 Yellowfin announced the release of a major new version 5.0. It includes an integrated in-memory columnar database to support querying of very large data sets and the ability to manage spreadsheet reporting through a centralized repository.

Due to the early association with other software vendors, Yellowfin had also specialized in the embedded business intelligence market providing their solution as a white label product. Yellowfin's primary business model is growth via channel sales through resellers, software partners as well as industry alliances such as Sybase.

As a result of these partnerships Yellowfin has over 2 million end users and tens of thousands of clients in over 50 countries across a broad range of industries including financial services, retail, telecommunications, logistics, professional services and government.
