This is looking good here:

"Yippy has been a partner of Highbeam since 2011, and I have watched Yippy's technology assets grow substantially over that period," stated Macartney. "The Yippy team has great depth and understanding of what I believe is the future of search. What excites me the most are the cognitive and predictive attributes of their EASE platform, as well as the unification of all business applications and data silos in an AD/LDAP controlled single sign on dashboard.

"I believe Yippy's Enterprise Application Services Environment (EASE) platform has the potential to be extremely disruptive to the enterprise search market. Yippy is poised to deliver innovation, performance and value to customers far beyond those currently available in the marketplace."

"We are blessed to have John on our Board," stated Richard Granville, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Yippy, Inc. "Both Errol Walsh, our Chief Operating Officer, and I have known John for years, and whenever we hit a complex road block mathematically, John is the wizard who gives us the answers. John has proven to be one of the best search-based software engineers in the industry. His guidance, business experience and industry contracts will be invaluable to the Company."
