Simone Clancy, Director of People Strategy at Yellowfin, and Jessica Maree, Program Director at VICT4W, had the opportunity to interview each other about leadership and mentoring, and share some valuable lessons they've learned.

“Letting the data speak for itself” is a well known phrase with a hard truth: Data presented on its own rarely communicates meaning for itself. For most people, it’s the context behind the numbers, the story, that helps us understand and care to act.

Like most organizations, Yellowfin has a CRM tool. The data in your CRM should be able to help you understand how you’re selling and how you win. But everyone I speak to is frustrated by the analytics they get from their CRM. We realized very quickly that the reporting in our CRM tool wasn't meeting our needs, so we built our own solution.

9.6 is focused on Yellowfin features that enhance the way our customers build, design and embed stunning analytical content, which include data storytelling, augmented analytics, actionable dashboards — and provide a high ease-of-use experience. As always, you can read the full list of updates in our release notes page, and view our release highlights video below to see the new enhancements demonstrated.
