The reason why software executives are at a loss to explain Yodlee is they are focused on very narrow applications that are ancillary to advice. Envestnet must address the advisory services business in its entirety, with that context, Yodlee makes great sense if one is interested high level expert advisory services with is beyond the scope of most software vendors.
