Seriously, try it now!
Before InfoApps™
Static, multipage documents are cumbersome to navigate, often requiring readers to manually copy and paste data into other applications for analysis.
With InfoApps™
A modern in-document UI/UX, tailored specifically to fit the content, streamlines document navigation and enhances data interactions without requiring readers to learn new skills.
It’s time to give infosumers data
in a format they can understand
By embedding In-Document BI™ in every infoApp, you can cater to underserved information consumers who seek data in a readily digestible format.
Empower everyone with insights, not just static data.
Analytical InfoApps are versatile, sharable via email or online publication. Readers can interact with the data both online and offline, sans any additional software. Plus, being freestanding, they negate the necessity for costly servers and web infrastructure.
”Deliver great design!
”Attention Economy 101: Competition is hot and getting hotter. If you are not aesthetically stimulating and functionally effective you just merge into the crowd.
”Emotional Economy 101: You've got three seconds to impress me. Three seconds to connect with me, to make me fall in love with your product.

InfoApp: The Uber Format
Today's communication medium is the Web. Therefore, all documents should be created and shared in a universal web format easily accessible in any browser. InfoApp integrates the best features of all traditional formats.
Data-Only Formats
Excel, CSV, TXT, JSON, other similar formats, are ideal to export and share data but lack visualization and design capabilities.
InfoApps embed raw data in the file, allowing easy data sharing or export of data directly from the document.
Presentation Formats
PPT, PDF, and DOC offer limited design and visualization. Static data and fixed layouts make such documents hard to use and update.
InfoApps offer enhanced design and layout capabilities, along with interactive data and content navigation.
Graphic Design Formats
PDF reigns supreme with perfect design and zero layout distortions acorss devices, but falls short in web-friendliness and user-friendly UI/UX.
InfoApps preserve the best features of PDF with the additional benefits of web-friendliness and user-friendly UI/UX.
Data in HTML
Business Intelligence applications excel in interactive data but are limited in design and lack portability due to server dependencies.
InfoApps embed a BI engine for analytics within the document itself, devoid of server dependencies and ensuring portability.
Data & Application Forms
PDF forms and specific HTML application pages serve as conventional means for data collection but demand costly custom development.
InfoApps have robust components and features to create fillable forms and application pages in HTML effortlessly.
The transition from static documents to InfoApps™ has started
Replace static PDF and other formats with pixel-perfect, portable, dynamic HTML
PDF has run its course. Time to let go.
PDF boasts two significant advantages: portability and perfect layout, which contributed to its popularity over the past 30 years. However, in the digital age, these attributes alone are no longer sufficient.
Storied Data HTML is pixel-perfect and portable
Effortlessly craft HTML docs with perfect design layout without any coding, offering the same advantages and exquisite aesthetics as PDFs. Elevate your designs with more interactive user experiences.
Storied Data dynamic HTML raises the bar even further
Transform static documents into mini apps (infoApps) with Dynamic HTML. Condense extensive content into engaging and time-efficient one-pagers for a more streamlined and interactive experience.
"Documents are a source of important information to all users. Companies must deliver superior in-document experience compared to web and mobile apps."
