Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) December 10, 2013 -- DataHero, the first web application that allows anyone to visualize and understand their data, announced today the GA release of its powerful cloud-based data visualization platform.

They recognize that the future of analytics lies in ease of access to a company’s crucial business data, which in today’s environment is increasingly spread across numerous SaaS applications and cloud storage filesystems,” said Foundry Group Managing Director Ryan McIntyre.
