This provides users with the specific information they need in the format that best helps them make more informed decisions. With a large range of formatting options, Yellowfin delivers complete control over data access and presentation. End users can drill down into reports, sort/filter information, refresh reports, print reports, and export them into many formats. Any report can be instantly published for end users to view, schedule, and share over the web. For many organizations, the business intelligence (BI) system enables power users and skilled business users to report on and analyze business data so that organizations can reduce costs and increase revenues. Many companies and government agencies routinely use a BI system for strategic and tactical decision making. For BI to reach its true potential within organizations it must become pervasive. BI tools must be easier to use and provide insights into business events as they happen. Click here to download Yellowfin Brochure
 Figure 1 : Overall System Architecture The advanced analytics within Yellowfin provides a suite of tools for advanced users to analyze and understand your data with ease. Yellowfin query and analysis capability empowers all users to answer their business questions by exploring data that support their specific decision processes – be it simple or highly complex data analysis. 
Figure 2 : Analysis capabilities With Yellowfin slice-and-dice analysis, users are able view their data from many different perspectives with a click of the mouse on either table data or fully interactive charts. Users can easily increase the level of detail of a summary report. For example, a user can drill down from a report at the quarter level to month, week or date in a single step. Users are not constrained to a single cube, view or data source. Users can easily drill across these entities with Yellowfin's unique drill through capabilities. Users can quickly design interactive reports, using the drag-and-drop interface, simply by dragging business attributes onto a blank page. Your users can quickly visualize information by creating tables, charts and hyperlinks. 
Figure 3 : Report builder The combination of Yellowfin dashboard and personalization facilities gives your users the power to choose how they wish to access critical information to improve their productivity.
With the Dashboard Manager users do not have to scroll through lists of reports, which may have little to no relevance for the job they do, in an attempt to find the data that are looking for. Rather they can place reports on their dashboard for high visibility and continued access. 
Figure 4 : Personalized dashboard Yellowfin has taken a fresh approach to information delivery by focusing on how people interact. The great failing of traditional reporting products is that they have delivered technology rather than business oriented solutions. The tools available have created barriers between those people with business expertise and the data they need to make decisions.
Yellowfin enables straightforward access to the reports that users need via a number of delivery mechanisms. Delivery features include: - Push or pull delivery : scheduled based distribution
- Subscription of Reports : Manual distribution
- Data-driven subscription: Alert & Event triggered distribution
