When we started working on the next generation of Iris, the goal wasn't to build just another content management platform or data portal. We were trying to solve a deeper, more persistent problem that nearly every organization inevitably faces: the inability to connect information from systems that were never designed to work together in the first place. Whether a government agency manages sensitive spatial data or a coalition of partners responds to a crisis across borders, the challenge is always the same. Data is often stuck in silos, systems are traditionally built by vendors using proprietary formats, and people who need answers fast are left waiting while teams scramble to translate, convert, and clean up the mess. This was the pain point Iris was designed to eliminate.
