Gartner Positions Yellowfin in Magic Quadrant for BI and Analytics Platforms

LONDON, U.K., Feb. 23 — For the fourth consecutive year, Gartner has placed global Business Intelligence (BI) and analytics software vendor Yellowfin in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence and Analytics Platforms. This report is widely viewed as the foremost annual analysis of the global BI and analytics market, providing an independent examination of the market’s strategic direction, state of maturity, and key technology vendors.

“We are very happy to earn this validation for our vision, product and international growth,” said Yellowfin CEO and Co-Founder, Glen Rabie. “Yellowfin’s growing international presence was a result of successfully meeting shifting market demands through constant product innovation.

“More organizations around the world want to deliver data analysis throughout the enterprise,” said Rabie. “Yellowfin is uniquely positioned to help people realize that goal with an end-to-end analytics platform that makes BI easy for IT, data analysts and business users.”
