Our decision to change from a perpetual licence model to subscriptions was one of the great naive moments in Yellowfin’s history. It was about eight years ago and seemed like a good idea as none of our competitors were doing it.

We’ve got a lot of customers in the health care space. It’s a really interesting space to be in from an analytics perspective because our customers are based across the world and have a wide variety of use cases - from financial administration all the way through to hospital performance and risk metrics.
