International Species Information Systems (ISIS) – Global ZIMS
The mission was to replace fragmented regional legacy systems with a single, authoritative global infrastructure. This required a centralized architecture allowing any member organization to access real-time data governed by international standards.
Developing the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) involved managing data for thousands of species across hundreds of institutions. The primary goal was to ensure conservation activities were backed by uniform data standards across the globe.
- Data Standardization
- Legacy Migration
- Global Access Security
- Multi-Institutional Collaboration
Inforica's deep involvement spanned the entire development lifecycle. We facilitated Joint Application Development (JAD) sessions to bridge technical and scientific requirements, lead business analysis, and architected the system using the Microsoft .NET framework.
The solution was a highly resilient three-tiered system. To support diverse field environments, we developed three distinct deployment modes:
- Globally Hosted (Cloud)
- Locally Managed (On-Prem)
- Standalone (Remote Access)
- Proprietary Data Sync Engine
The result is a world-first centralized management platform for the animal conservation sector. It provides unprecedented data currency and standardized access, empowering scientists and experts worldwide to work from a single source of truth.
