If you work with time series, dataZoa will change your life.

dataZoa is all about connections. Data flows like water;
from real world sources
through calculations, tables, charts,
on to presentations, spreadsheets, even a live chart on your smartphone.
and whenever the least thing changes, everything that should happen just happens, automatically.



Here's what you need to know...


  • You work with open data from Web sources (like the UN, EIA, BLS, Kids Count, etc.) along with your own data series, interchangeably.



  • More generally:
    • Save many, many, many, many, many, many hours of data drudgery
    • You never forget a thing - your analyses, tables and charts stay in sync with the data behind them
    • 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
