How to choose a Infonetica alternative
- 1
What your bill covers
Infonetica does not publish a price, so you cannot compare an institution's bill before signing or renewing. Ask what its quote covers, including forms, workflows, portals and setup, and how changes to your process affect the cost.
- 2
Who holds your records
Check who owns the database and what you can take with you if you leave. Infonetica offers a CSV extract of your data at contract end. Ask which records and documents are included, and how they would be moved into a database you own.
- 3
Fit with your committee rules
List the rules, forms and fields your human and animal committees use, then check how closely an option fits them. Infonetica configures forms and workflows for each institution. An owned version can be built around your processes and the requirements your committees follow.

What switching involves
Ask how your existing records will be brought across and checked. An applications report or an end-of-contract data extract can be used to move key application details. A test run and count check can help confirm the move, while forms and attachments remain documents in your document store.
The option that fits
Own a version built around your business
Owning your version can suit you when your committees need forms, fields and rules that match how your office works. Enterprise DNA builds it around your processes, brings your Infonetica records across and runs it for you, for one setup fee followed by a monthly retainer. Your records sit in a database you own, with no per-seat plans. You can also run the free version yourself, using plain language.

Questions
Infonetica alternatives, answered
How much does Infonetica charge? expand_more
Infonetica does not publish a price. Each institution is quoted privately, with forms, workflows and portals set up for that institution as part of the contract. Ask for a clear breakdown of what the quote covers and how future changes to your process affect the cost.
Can an alternative follow our committee's rules? expand_more
Enterprise DNA builds each business its own version around how it runs. It can include the forms and workflows your human and animal committees use, with checks against relevant Australian or New Zealand requirements. Set out your committee rules and required fields when assessing whether an option fits.
Can we bring our Infonetica records across? expand_more
Yes. An applications report saved from Infonetica, or the data extract provided at the end of the contract, can bring across references, titles, investigators, committees, status, decisions, dates and animal numbers. Enterprise DNA does a test run and checks the counts with you. Forms and attachments stay as documents in your document store.
Do researchers need to submit online? expand_more
Not necessarily. With the free version, researchers send a completed national or local form to the ethics office, which registers the application and keeps them updated. If your researchers need online submission and status tracking, Enterprise DNA can build a submission form and status page on the same database as part of your version.
