Regarding why the funds were needed, the team stated: "The biggest challenge is to make it available for everyone on a secure server. To achieve this we need to create a robust user management system and establish a cloud environment."[4] After meeting their funding goal, the team went on to solve those challenges, eventually releasing the source code to the public on February 12, 2016.[1][2] BioSistemika also began to offer hosting and installation/service plans for the software.[5] The developer also announced it would be demonstrating the software at the Experimental Biology 2016 conference in San Diego at the beginning of April 2016.[6]
