If you already have some brand awareness, so people know who you are and what you do, there are three ways that you can accelerate your sales in a virtual environment.

Let’s get this out of the way: To understand the much discussed ’death of the dashboard' proclamation, the phrase needs to be viewed under a different lens beyond the literal. Firstly, it's not a new concept at all: Yellowfin have been saying it for years. The problem is in the current confusing interpretation around what it means for business intelligence. In short, dashboards aren’t actually dying, nor is their usefulness for certain users spent.

To build a successful online brand, your team need to identify and understand who you are and what you do for them. There are a couple of really important steps that you need to take to do this, and some things that are good to be aware of, which we share below.

Yellowfin frequently speaks with prospects that list operational reporting as a critical requirement when buying an analytics solution. Despite the usefulness of the latest features, standard reporting capabilities is still an essential part of their BI checklist. But why?

While there has been some incremental improvements in the last few years, there has been nothing significant recently - and I think there are four clear reasons for that.

Start-ups founded on analytics have been shaking up every industry. Finance has been disrupted by Monzo's data focus, Netflix’s analytics has upended film entertainment, and Swyfft has used data to change the game for US home insurance. Today's users have come to expect analytics in their applications.

With automation becoming more user-friendly and streamlined than ever before, it's understandable organizations across sectors are examining how it can enhance their analytics capability and accelerate their business shift toward digital transformation.

Artificial intelligence (AI), automation and machine learning (ML) are rapidly transforming the analytical experience for everyday business users in 2021. Whether it’s automated visualizations, continuous analysis, or reduced time-to-insight, there are many practical benefits of augmented analytics that are well documented and fully realized today.
