The new Zephyr (Neo) website

Zephyr is a database containing information on: Mergers & Acquisitions, Initial Public Offerings Venture Capital transactions. The database covers transactions & deals worldwide. Every year about 100.000 new deals are added. During 2010 and the beginning of 2011 the new website has been developed for searching the database. It will replace the older website/interface sometime during 2011.

Zephyr offers two ways to search in the database: A quick deal search, and the expert search. Both are still available but the look very different from before. The expert search now looks exactly like the NEO website which was introduced in 2009/2010 for the database Amadeus.
