One goal of Sympathy for Data is to enable users to handle data from many different sources and formats with ease. Connect to databases, select files from different network drives or automatically perform analysis on thousands of Excel-files on your local drive. The platform is developed to handle large data sets together with other kinds of important data like meta data (units, dates etc.), results and/or any other custom data needed for analysis.

Sympathy for Data is a software platform for data analysis. It targets all domains where offline data analysis is challenging and repetitive. The focus is automating importing, preparing, analysis and reporting. In some aspects it is a visual programming environment. It is used by a number of prominent companies in different areas. Automatization is the key to long term success. Much of the analysis performed today is manually executed. As data grow larger in all aspects manual work is not feasible in the long run. Sympathy for Data supports subscription services to databases, network disks etc. in order to find/filter/sort and analyze newly created data and automatically create formatted reports.
