InfoZoom BARC Review & Rating

This section contains our independent analyst views on InfoZoom.

Provider and product description

NEMO GmbH traces its origins back to 1997 when humanIT Software GmbH was founded as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute in Bonn, Germany. In 2003, the young company was acquired by the proALPHA Group, which is best known for its ERP solutions targeted at medium-sized businesses.

From the very beginning, the company focused on business intelligence and analytics, specifically on developing the desktop-oriented, in-memory analysis solution InfoZoom. The product offers a unique way of displaying data and its associated attributes, allowing business users to see the structure of the data at a glance, regardless of the amount. The overview of aggregated values is freely navigable and can be filtered. The user can easily move around in the data space and examine values and their relationships. Business users can visualize data using built-in diagrams, reports or the integrated OEM product List & Label, which offers advanced formatting and printing options.

Navigation via the bar-like visualization (“zooming”) not only reveals details but also highlights anomalies within the data. Incorrect values can be quickly identified and adjusted directly in the tool by simply editing the values on a single row or on a group of rows. This capability has made data quality improvement one of its most compelling use cases, providing significant value to InfoZoom customers.

Over time, InfoZoom was enhanced with additional analytical functionalities, and the company began exploring trends such as artificial intelligence (AI). Drawing on years of experience with the challenges faced by ERP customers from the proALPHA Group and insights into AI developments, the idea for an AI-based platform emerged. This led to the development of the analytics-as-a-service platform NEMO. The goal was to address specific business needs and help customers (ERP customers initially) to improve operational metrics and business processes. The vendor refers to NEMO as a digital business consultant for data-driven decisions. It analyzes financial data from the customer’s value-added chain and is designed to unlock optimization potential, derive recommended measures and determine their monetary value. Due to this development, the company changed its name to NEMO GmbH in 2024.
