Retailers are using big data to report on consumer demand, inventory availability, and supply chain performance in real time. Big data provides a convenient, easy way for retail organizations to quickly ingest petabytes of data and apply machine learning techniques for efficiently moving consumer goods. A top supermarket retailer has recently used Unravel to monitor its vast trove of customer data to stock the right product for the right customer, at the right time.

This blog post is part of a series on Cloudera’s Operational Database (OpDB) in CDP. Each post goes into more details about new features and capabilities. Start from the beginning of the series with, Operational Database in CDP. Cloudera’s OpDB provides a rich set of capabilities to store and access data. In this blog post, we’ll look at the accessibility capabilities of OpDB and how you can make use of these capabilities to access your data.

We’re continuing our series on the slick new features and design that you can find in Yellowfin 9 - a game-changing analytics product packed with new capabilities to help you get to actionable insights faster. It was time for a change to the look and feel of the Yellowfin platform and we also knew that some of the workflows could be enhanced. So, the major release of Yellowfin 9 was our chance to give Yellowfin a new look and improve the user interface and workflows while we were at it.
