AMSTERDAM, Sept. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- First Consulting - a Netherlands-based Process, IT and Change consultancy specializing in agile application development, reporting and analytics, data quality and migrations, and financial asset management - has signed a reseller agreement with global Business Intelligence (BI) and analytics software vendor, Yellowfin.
The partnership will see First Consulting offer Yellowfin's business-user-oriented BI solution, and associated professional services, to its current and future clients throughout the Netherlands.
First Consulting Managing Partner, Geert van den Goor, said that First Consulting decided to partner with Yellowfin in order to bolster its reporting and analytics offerings with a modern BI platform that provided an agile add-on, or replacement, for traditional BI tools as well as embedded BI capabilities.
"We have been looking for a solid partner to boost our agile reporting capabilities," said van den Goor. "After conducting a proof of concept for an embedded reporting solution, First Consulting became very enthusiastic about Yellowfin. Through Yellowfin, First Consulting can now offer its clients a highly flexible and 100 percent browser-based BI solution that's cost effective and can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud."
First Consulting Business Technology Practice Lead, Paul ten Haaf, said that, while First Consulting was very selective when it came to choosing the right technology partners, Yellowfin's business-user-focused approach to BI stood out in a crowded market.
"At First Consulting, we want to focus on products that really add value for our customers," said ten Haaf. "We knew that, with Yellowfin, we had a winner in the BI space.
"For starters, Yellowfin makes BI simple again, with its range of world-class features primarily aimed at non-technical business users. Yellowfin also empowers business analysts with analytic software that's fast to learn and easy to love, empowering them to create highly intuitive analytic content quickly."
Yellowfin Managing Director for EMEA, Peter Baxter, said that First Consulting's developing Business Technology practice would underpin a successful partnership.
"First Consulting's existing reputation in the business analytics industry, combined with its strong commitment to building upon its already significant BI expertise, means that Yellowfin has found an extremely valuable partner. We're looking forward to working with the team at First Consulting to grow Yellowfin's market presence in the Netherlands."
