Cannot ingest
in real-time
Cannot support interactive
applications
Rising support costs
Escalating use expenses

25. Simpler modeling and true self-service analytics
Consolidate for simple models
Provide robust ANSI SQL for true self-service

26. “We wanted to reduce the
number of platforms, and
provide faster response
times to user queries

27. “Instead of replicating it
into twenty different
tables, flattened out five
different ways, to answer
the same question, in
Yellowbrick you could just
run one simple join
or
JOIN

28. “We completed extensive
testing of major MPP data
warehouse platforms and
found Yellowbrick to have
the highest performing,
most scalable and cost-
effective platform for our
300TB environment

29. “The performance we saw at the end
of one week blew us away
