We're excited to share a big news. DATAtab has rebranded as Numiqo.
We have a new name, but nothing will change for you—and of course our team will also remain the same.
If you have an account for our statistics software, nothing will change there. You can simply log in as usual with your email address and password. Our YouTube channel will, of course, stay up; we'll just rename it.
Why are we changing our name?
OK, now to the questions: why are we changing our name? We've built up DATAtab for more than five years and we're very happy to have such a great community like you.
But of course also with the new name we will keep giving our best to create great learning content on statistics—we already have a whole list of new topics. Now to the question: why are we doing this?
Well, Mathias, the founder of DATAtab, received an email from a law firm representing Minitab.
If, like me, you come from the social and economic sciences or market research, you probably know the statistic software SPSS or R. But if you work, for example, in quality management at an industrial company, then you will likely know Minitab. In short, it is a large statistics software from the USA.
So we received an email—let me quote a few lines:
“It has recently come to our attention that Datatab adopted DATATAB in connection with statistical software […]”
“This use and registration is likely to cause confusion […]” “Specifically, DATATAB utilizes the identical suffix element as MINITAB.”
“Accordingly, we request an immediate worldwide cessation of use of the DATATAB Marks.”
Well, DATAtab is a web app, and you can analyze your data in a browser tab. Hence the name data-tab.
But long story short, we are not interested in any legal confrontation, so: we decided to rebrand.
numiqo
Our new name will be numiqo! And we think we've found a great new name that, in my opinion, sounds and looks even better, cooler and fresher than our previous name, DATAtab. But of course that's a matter of taste. :)
So we're already looking forward to the complete rebranding! And we're really excited to keep creating many great new statistics videos for you in the future and to continue following our motto: making statistics simple and easy to understand.
Stay tuned! Lots of love and see you soon.
