  • ๐Ÿ”ง Purpose-built features: No odd knobs, minimal feature bloat โ€” encode the logic your business actually needs.
  • ๐Ÿง  Encoded business knowledge: Your decision-making logic and operational standards become executable code โ€” secure, trackable, and versioned in Git.
  • โ˜๏ธ Cloud-ready & VM-deployed: Run your app on secure Linux VMs with full control over system-level operations, monitoring, and storage.
  • ๐Ÿ” Data governance and accountability: Move beyond spreadsheets and web forms with proper data validation, retention, and audit trails.

Many businesses processes start by collecting information using a combination of tools like Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, then manage the data in Google Sheets or Excel.

This approach is quick to set up, but often leads to data management headaches, manual processing, and a lack of needed business controls and data governance.

Informs is an open-source web app (Django), used for managing support requests. A simple model is used as each “Aid Requests” associated to a “Field Operation”.
