dataZoa is unlike anything you have used before...


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


  • When you collect and maintain 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.


  • 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.
