Unlock the Power of Your Data: ZONTAL’s New Analytics Offerings

I am thrilled to announce some exciting new developments at ZONTAL. As the newly appointed Director of Analytics in our Professional Services Team, I wrote this blog to share how we are taking Data Analytics to the next level. Buckle up, because we are about to dive into the world of Data Products! 

Why Data Products? 

Yes, we all know that data is the new gold. And there’s a rush to get it all primed and ready for crunching by AI. But raw data alone is not enough. That’s where data products come in – and ZONTAL is the perfect foundation for data products. Think of them as the finely tuned engines that power your business, providing actionable insights and driving value. A data product at ZONTAL is a solution that turns the transformed raw data into actionable insights. Unlike a normal database or SDMS – which is only a collection of data – a data product is designed with end-users in mind, offering intuitive interfaces, advanced analytics, and is integrated into your business process. ZONTAL represents the entire lifecycle of data, from collection and processing to analysis and visualization, ensuring that our users can quickly gain meaningful insights and make informed decisions. 

The ZONTAL Difference 

The Analytics offering goes beyond just supplementing internal teams with additional capacity to build dashboards and analyses. We will work with you and your colleagues to combine your internal knowledge with our expertise on interactive visual data analytics. We create customized data products that support you every day to make informed decisions based on your most recent and historical data and processes. 

Our Expanded Offerings 

Our team is dedicated to helping you harness the full potential of your data. Here’s a sneak peek into what we are bringing to the table: 

Integrated Data Products 

We are offering integrated and self-contained data products that combine data, metadata, semantics, and implementation logic. These products are consumption-ready and kept up to date by our consulting team, so you can say goodbye to one-off reports and hello to scalable data products! It could be your comprehensive Assay Data solution. ZONTAL captures and integrates data from all laboratory assays, including chemical, biochemical, cell-based, and in vivo studies. It combines data, metadata, semantics, and implementation logic to provide a holistic view of your research processes. An integrated Data Product is allowing researchers of different expertise levels to efficiently access, analyze, and share key data and results. 

Operational and Scientific Analytics 

Whether you are looking to optimize your lab operations or dive into your scientific research results, our analytics offerings have got you covered. Our data products are designed to support a wide range of use cases, from business decision support to fully annotated data sharing with co-workers or collaborators. 

Our Lab Efficiency solution integrates data and metadata from various lab instruments and processes, providing insights in near real-time into equipment utilization, workflow bottlenecks, and resource allocation. Lab managers have all the decision support right in front of them to optimize operations, reduce downtime, and improve overall productivity. 

Our Integrated Assay solution captures and combines data and metadata from pre-clinical assays, including in vitro and in vivo studies. This data product provides researchers a holistic view of their experiments, enabling advanced analysis and visualization to support hypothesis generation and validation by bringing structures and sequences together with their associated measurements and processes.  

Empowering Data Excellence 

Our team is equipped with and trained in the latest tools and technologies to create, package, deliver, and maintain your data products. From programmatic access, dimension-free data drill down and across to semantic metadata management, we’ve got everything you need to build scalable data products that can handle the speed and volume of your daily business.  

No Need to Start from Scratch 

We know that you have already built impressive data and analytics products, and this is often on top of siloed data sources – no small feat! The good news? With ZONTAL, you don’t have to start from scratch. Our platform ensures that all your data is in a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and vendor-neutral format. We specialize in seamlessly transferring your existing analytics to connect with ZONTAL, maximizing the value of your current investments and make them better: How? ZONTAL contains a semantic layer on top of your lab data and added meta data. Data preparation happens during the automated ingestion process. The data in ZONTAL does not only replace your existing data sources, but it also makes your data analytics more reliable and more sophisticated at the same time. I am looking forward to discussing how you and your analytics can benefit from it.  

Join Us on This Data Journey 

At ZONTAL, we are not just about providing data solutions; we are about creating a data-driven culture. Our goal is to empower you and your colleagues with the insights you need to make informed decisions and drive innovation as a Citizen Data Scientist.
