Developed initially as a means of managing GIS data and sharing GIS projects
a) Reduce redundancy and duplication b) Retain data integrity
Began with conservancies and concessions and grew to incorporate parks, community forests and private reserves
Data set expanded to include documents, reports, databases
Initially just a standardised folder and file system but the growing user base required the addition of a customised interface to facilitate easy access to the information
