If you spend your time dealing with time-series, dataZoa will improve your life substantially.

Here's what to expect:

By what Magic?
Timeliness Whenever a number changes, everything flows from there, automatically.
It is actually safe to schedule that vacation!
We monitor your data sources and update from there.
Accuracy No more confusion about who has the latest version of that spreadsheet,
or whether that annoying PDF got updated...
Everything is linked, not copied.
There are no copies to get out of sync.
Independence You are in full control; no waiting on Admins Webmasters and Programmers.
If you know your job and you can handle a browser,
congratulations, you're now more effective than they are.
Um, it's the 21st century!
Productivity If you waste a week every month clawing data from websites and redoing your work,
you now have a free week.
Do something new and wonderful!
dataZoa understands time series fundamentally, and handles all the details.
Credit Your work goes right where it is needed.
Send that chart to the boss's phone, now.
Websites SMS Email Social Media Blogs Spreadsheets Documents (all live and connected!)

Dealing with time series?
dataZoa has a radically different approach.

Here's what you need to know...


  • When you work with open data from Web sources (like the UN, EIA, BLS, Kids Count, etc.):



  • When you work with your own data series:
    • Your series are fully harmonized as well - they work together, along with Web data
    • As you add or update values, your calculations and displays update automatically.



  • More generally:
    • Save many, many, many, many, many, many hours of data drudgery
    • You never forget a thing - your table and charts are already updated
    • Your work goes right where you want it - phone, Web, email, blogs, open or restricted
    • No programming - if you can use a spreadsheet you can use dataZoa
