Bring your data in
Import projects, people, outputs, and organisational units from structured spreadsheets, so your record starts full rather than empty.
Getting started
From your current data to a live system
Bring the research data you already have into Stellacris and go live, with a guided setup and a stack any IT team can run.
Moving to a new system should not mean starting from a blank page. Most institutions already keep research data in spreadsheets and existing systems; the question is how painlessly it comes across.
Stellacris imports structured data so your projects, people, and outputs arrive connected, not as a flat dump. From there, your office validates and builds on a record that already reflects reality.
Why it matters
A gentle path to go-live
Guided setup
A step-by-step installer stands the system up and walks you through the first configuration, from branding to users.
Runs on ordinary hosting
A standard PHP and SQL stack means your own IT team, or ours, can run it on infrastructure you already understand.
SaaS or on-premises
Start as managed SaaS or install on your own servers, and move between them later, because the system is the same either way.
In practice
What onboarding looks like
A practical route from your first import to a validated, public-ready record.
- Structured import of projects, people, outputs, and organisational units from spreadsheets.
- Templates that map your existing columns onto the Stellacris record.
- A guided installer for a clean, repeatable setup.
- A standard PHP and SQL stack that runs on ordinary shared hosting or your own servers.
- The identical system available as managed SaaS or on-premises.
- Support and documentation to take your team from first login to go-live.
Common questions
Questions, answered
How does our existing data come across?
Through structured import from spreadsheets, mapped onto the Stellacris record so projects, people, and outputs arrive connected. Your office then validates and enriches from a record that already reflects your institution.
What does it need to run?
A standard PHP and SQL environment. There is no exotic runtime and no build step, so it runs on ordinary shared hosting or on servers you already operate.
Can we start small?
Yes. Begin with the core record and the modules you need, then enable more over time. The system is modular, so your setup can grow with you.
