Our Story

Chart.io helps businesses analyze and track their critical data. Over the past decade, the Business Intelligence industry has failed to deliver affordable and easy-to-use solutions. Instead, most vendors sell bulky on-premise products that are nearly impossible to understand, take ages to deploy and in many cases, fail to deliver value. It's time for a change.

When we founded Chart.io, we set forth to make analytics intuitive and not a massive and budget-breaking headache. We're re-imagining business analytics from the ground-up and offer every enterprise a beautiful, simple-to-use and powerful platform to understand their critical data.

Dave Fowler's mom taught him to program when he was 11 and he's been spending his hours in front of the terminal ever since. In school he studied Physics, two other undergrads and finished with a masters degree in Electrical Engineering.

During and after school Dave did 2 years at IBM where he worked on the processor for the Xbox 360 and filed 10 patents. Two years ago he moved to the bay area to pursue a startup and he is happy that fewer people bug him about finding some work-life balance.

David Beyer has been a fan of technology ever since his dad gave him his first Star Trek phaser replica. About 17 years later he graduated from Brown with a degree in pretty much everything (Brown lets you do that).

Wanting to solve the major problem of fragmentation in the healthcare industry, he launched his first startup, Cortex, about a year out of college. As CEO of Cortex, he sold his software to a number of hospital systems and alliances, helping them manage their intellectual capital.

Justin Davis received his BS in computer and electrical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic University. He's since done some pretty cool things in both, from working on powerplants with GE to stopping DDoS attacks at Arbor Networks in Michigan.

Before Chart.io, he was a Senior Software Engineer at Splunk, a great analytics company that focuses on unstructured data (from logs). In his free time, Justin likes to make MySQL asynchronous (and other geeky things) and chill with friends.

Michael Shiplett , a.k.a., walrus, recently joined us from the world of networking security. Before Chart.io, he built mighty, scalable systems for Arbor Networks in Michigan and wrangled routing code for Cisco. Michael has spent his entire career writing client and server-side networking code.

Since joining, he has been overjoyed to find not one, but two(!) espresso stands where "all shots are double ristrettos".

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the questions we get asked the most. If we're missing anything, please let us know at support@chart.io.

What is Chart.io?

Chartio is a tool to help you explore the business data that is stored in your company databases. Since these datasources can be intimidating to those outside the IT department, we built a platform that allows both technical and business users to easily ask business questions of their data in real time.

How does Chart.io connect to my data?

Our connection method sets up a very secure ssh tunnel to one of our servers, which allows us to connect back to your database. And the servers that we've set up to connect to your database are fully locked down and hardened.

Do you store my data?

Not at all. Your data is your own and we never store a copy. As your data travels to and from our servers (so we can run the analytics), it is heavily encrypted. And it never stays in our servers so you fully own your data from start to finish.

How often do you run queries against my database?

The queries are re-run every ten minutes or anytime you refresh the dashboard. The query results are then cached for 5 minutes by default. You can always manually adjust the auto-refresh frequency and cache duration in the dashboard settings page.

Contact Us

If there's anything that's unclear or if you encounter any technical issues, please let us know by visiting the feedback page or contacting us at support@chart.io

If that doesn't work, give us a call anytime @ (866) 457-7206 or our CEO's personal phone at (240) 274-6343.

Big Data Meets the Hype Cycle

by on Jan. 9, 2012 .

Big Data is all the rage these days, judging from the press, analyst reports and the endless webinars in my spam folder. Just as with every other mega-trend in technology, the hype is partly justified and partly not.

What is Big Data?

Sprawling amounts of data are being generated across quite a range of sources and media: financial transactions, weather data, health data, social data, sensor data, mobile data, geo-location data, search data, and the list goes on.

Some of this data, particularly the unstructured kind, is not very suited to traditional tools, mainly, the relational database. But as certain ...

New on Chart.io: Permissioning

by on Nov. 18, 2011 in Features.

Today we're announcing permissioning, a new feature that will give our customers more granular control over what their teammates can and can't do with Chart.io.

With permissioning, Chart.io project administrators can now assign teammates to one of three roles:

Admin

Admin users can do, well, everything. That includes creating dashboards, adding datasources, determining access for other users -- basically anything that's possible with Chart.io.

Creator

Creators have a medium level of access. They can add new charts, modify existing ones, edit schema and add new dashboards. But unlike admins, they can't add new datasources ...
