In 2002 a Canadian company called
ComponentArt located in Toronto started to focus on report specifically on “Mobile
BI App”, and that is where datazen came from.
They had thousands of customers
and Microsoft decided to buy this company, I assume that it was taken over by
Microsoft around 2014ish, and in 2016 it was a part of the Microsoft BI tool (Link)
know as “SSRS Mobility Suite”. I think that the best thing that Microsoft did within
SQL Server was to reconstruct the entire reporting services to an
unbelievable level, and to top it all they combined SSRS, Datazen and Power BI
together.
Datazen was known to be an on perm
software and it still is but you can still have datazen hosted in a virtual environment
in the cloud.
What you should know about datazen is
1. It is an Analytical tool, mainly used
for Mobile and tablet.
2. It is NOT a data discovery tool, to me this is the most important part
to understand specifically when you want to start learning and designing with
Datazen
3. It is a “Touch Analyst” tool and is supported
for offline usage.
4. The best Rich interactive visualization
that I have seen in years.
5. Simplicity and rapid deployment and
predefined data for designers.
