Cloud Service
One of Vagoferus’ goals is to facilitate the combination of multiple data streams to produce informative output that enables you to transform data from a myriad of sources into actionable output.
Insightful
The primary purpose of Vagoferus’ cloud service is to help you extract insights from all the data you’ve collected. It provides a central repository to collect fish survey results, tagging lists, project definitions, antenna positions, detection logs, and environmental data. Leveraging this collected data, the software will help you combine it in new ways to reveal patterns about your project and the species dwelling with in it.
Self Service
Independently of whether we help you plan, construct or monitor a specific project, Vagoferus provides a cloud based data repository combined with data analysis tools to help manage your project. These tools are directly accessible to you.
The tools enable you to define projects, grant access to users, ingest content from various sources, and leverage the data analysis tools to combine these data sources in new and comprehensive ways.
Web Based
The cloud service is web based enabling employees to access the data from any location and from any device that has a web browser with access to the internet. Although, some functionality is data manipulation oriented and is best performed from a laptop or desktop with a larger monitor for more expansive viewing.
Secure & Audited
All updates performed within the scope of an agency and project are audited to provide historical traceability and accountability.
The owning agency grants access to the cloud service to its team members assigning them appropriate permissions for their job roles. Roles are assigned at the agency and project levels. Roles include administrator, contributor, and viewer.
Ingestion
Data ingestion is a frequent task which should be as effortless as possible. Our cloud service understands common source file formats like CSV (Comma Separate File) and XLSX (Microsoft Excel) file formats. Through a simple point and click interface map the inbound columns to the appropriate data values. Inbound data is evaluated before ingestion and any warnings or errors are displayed for correction prior to ingestion.
Storage
During your project’s duration, and through the efforts of multiple team members –some of whom might be seasonal workers, large quantities of data will be gathered to feed the analysis tools such as: fish survey results, detection logs, daily hydrological and weather data, etc.. Our cloud service will preserve the original versions of these documents. Thus becoming a single source of truth for all the data that was combined over the life of the project. This can be invaluable during the project to research the source of unexpected data anomalies as well as at the end of the project when final content is being prepared for publishing.
