What does the name Zansa mean and where does it come from?

Zansa comes from the Japanese word 残差 (zansa), which means residual. In statistics, a residual is the difference between an observed value and what was expected, which fits a team focused on explaining numbers that do not match. Zansa applies that idea to small and mid-sized companies whose systems disagree.

Zansa is a data analytics and data science team for small and mid-sized companies anywhere in the world, based in South Africa and working remotely.

A residual is the leftover amount after you account for everything you can explain. In reconciliation work, the aim is the same: explain each difference between systems until only a small, understood remainder is left.
