If you work with time-series data, dataZoa is unlike anything you have used before, and there are some startling things you should know...


  • If you work with open data from Web sources (like the UN, EIA, BLS, Kids Count, etc.):
    • The dZ-Dot browser add-in lets you add series of interest to dataZoa with a single click.
    • Your series update automatically - we monitor all your sources for changes and apply them.


  • If you collect and maintain your own data series:
    • You can upload your data to dataZoa and use it right alongside public sources.
    • As you make changes to your data, calculations and displays that depend on it change as well.


  • And more generally:
    • Time-series are dataZoa's natural data type. All the details about dates and frequencies are handled gracefully.
    • dataZoa is for end-users; no programming involved!
    • All series in dataZoa work together, regardless of source.
    • Changes flow through from end to end - all calculations, tables and charts stay up-to-date, for you and the people who depend on you.
    • Your work is seen exactly and only where you want it - from a single phone screen to a privileged list to the web at large.
