Analytics
Is analytics going back to the future?
The biggest takeaway from Gartner’s Magic Quadrant is that organizations need Mode One, Mode Two and Mode Three analytics. There’s very little point in delivering highly sophisticated advanced automated analytics if you haven’t got your ‘bread and butter’ reporting and governance working.

How to Deploy Yellowfin Signals on Google Analytics Data
In the previous blog, we initially discussed how Yellowfin Signals discovered a surprising website traffic spike hidden in our Google Analytics data. So how did we set up Signals?

Deploying Yellowfin Signals on Google Analytics data
Yellowfin Signals automatically discovers and sends alerts about critical changes in the business, as they occur. Here's a quick step-by-step guide on how we deployed Yellowfin Signals on our Google Analytics data.
Make Google Analytics data meaningful with Yellowfin Signals
Lots of organizations use Google Analytics and Google Insights to monitor the effectiveness of their digital marketing. While it looks appealing, some of the information it delivers is almost meaningless. It’s so complicated that it doesn’t help you understand what’s happening in your business.
The Impact of AI on the Data Analyst
The introduction of AI, automation and data storytelling to the world of analytics has not only had an immediate impact on the end users of analytics but also the people that work in the field. While many analysts may fear they will be replaced by automation and AI, CEO of Yellowfin, Glen Rabie, believes that the role of the data analyst will increase in significance to the business and breadth of skills required.
Why data not anecdotes matter - election spin versus cold hard reality
So much of our decision making is made based on firmly held beliefs and stories we have absorbed in our lifetimes. Generally referred to as type one thinking – this is fast, emotional and generally unconscious. It is a type of thinking that is very useful for making day to day decisions like what to wear, what to have for lunch or how to get to work. However, this type of thinking is inherently flawed and full of bias.
How Signals can be used with Google Analytics
Lots of organizations use Google Analytics and Google Insights to monitor the effectiveness of their digital marketing, but the information it delivers is almost meaningless. If you want to discover changes as they happen or be able to react to changes that you’re making to your website or digital campaigns you should apply Signals to Google Analytics.
