It has always been central for us to take care of your investments in the software as well as your experience and knowledge about collection management. Further development of IrisBG will therefore be extensions to the well-known and solid platform used by us today.

We want to continue to provide a feature rich and flexible solution that adapts to your needs and budget. As part of that we will extend our use of the web and cloud-based services. However, we don’t want to force you to use a cloud-based solution. For many gardens, in-house hosting of the software and/or database will be the best and cheapest solution.

IrisBG as a cloud based solution (SaaS)

Making IrisBG available from the cloud means that you can run the full version in your browser. This will work best on screen resolutions from 1024 x 768 and upwards (tablets and desktop). The approach has several benefits:

No need to install the system on local computers.
Availability on multiple platforms (Windows, iOS etc.).
You will always use the latest version of IrisBG, manual upgrading is not necessary.

IrisBG on small devices (portable)

We will provide a simplified, browser-based version for small screens like mobile phones and tablets. This will use the same, well-proven core modules as the fully featured version.

Update, add and edit plant records whilst out on site.
No need for synchronization.
The usual IrisBG data quality, validation and integrity is ensured.

IrisBG Collaboration and Data Sharing

We believe that collection management is at its best when you are able to re-use and share your data. It should not be necessary for you to re-enter data that is already present. We will therefore focus on:

Communication and efficient data sharing among our users.
Extend and improve integration with external data providers such as World Flora Online for taxonomy and IUCN for Red List status, in the same way as for IPNI today.
Interfaces (APIs) for making your data available for development of external apps.
