Computer Integrated Systems Design
Order the data that Branched before you found it.
Metazoa LLC is a computer systems design practice working from its Lehi works at 2963 N 600 E, Lehi - 84043-9636, United States (US). We structure data platforms, classification systems and integration pipelines so that research and enterprise teams can follow every record back to a trustworthy root. Our work treats a data estate the way a curator treats a specimen wall: every unit catalogued, every relationship labelled, every branch preserved. Teams come to us when their sources, schemas and pipelines have grown into a tangle no one can trace by hand.
See how our six service lines connectClassification
Schemas and rule sets that give every record a stable home.
Integration
Platform layers that let separate systems read one another.
Taxonomy
Controlled vocabularies and relation models that hold up.
Automation
Pipelines that move, validate and document data on schedule.
Governance
Access reviews that keep sensitive branches under control.
Type Drawer Ladder
Six service drawers, each opened in turn
Data Classification Systems
We design the classification backbone that decides where a record belongs and why. Working from your existing sources, we build a schema with clear classes, required fields and permitted values, then encode the rules that assign each record on arrival. You receive a documented system your engineers can extend without guesswork. Read the full service.
Platform Integration Engineering
Separate systems rarely agree on formats, keys or timing. We engineer the integration layer that translates between them, with adapters, queues and reconciliation jobs that survive failures. The result is a platform where a change in one source does not silently corrupt a downstream report. Read the full service.
Taxonomy Modeling Services
A taxonomy is the skeleton of a data estate. We model controlled vocabularies, hierarchical terms and cross relations that match how your teams actually speak about their work. Every term carries a definition and a steward, so the model stays useful as the organization grows and new teams inherit it. Read the full service.
Pipeline Automation
Manual data handling does not scale and cannot be audited. We build automated pipelines that ingest, validate, transform and publish on a schedule you can trust, with logging at each stage. When a stage fails, the pipeline tells you where and why rather than leaving a gap in the record. Read the full service.
Research Data Curation
Research datasets arrive fragmented, undocumented and inconsistent. We curate them into governed collections with provenance, units, version history and descriptive metadata that other teams can reuse. Curation turns a folder of files into a citable asset. Read the full service.
Access Governance Reviews
Access, once granted, is seldom revisited. We review who can reach which data, map the sensitive branches, and recommend a permission model that matches real responsibilities. Each review ends with a documented decision trail suitable for auditors, boards and future stewards. Read the full service.
Why a Cladogram Wall
Classify, connect, preserve
A phylogenetic wall does something most data diagrams do not: it keeps the whole history of a branch visible at once. Metazoa LLC borrows that discipline for systems work. When we design a data platform, we do not simply move records from one store to another. We establish where each record came from, which parent source it descends from, and which sibling branches it must stay consistent with. That habit of tracing lineage is the difference between a report you can defend and a number you merely hope is correct.
Our practice covers the full arc from classification through governance. We draw the classes with Data Classification Systems, then wire the moving parts together with Platform Integration Engineering. We give the whole estate a shared language through Taxonomy Modeling Services, and we keep it current with Pipeline Automation. Where research data is involved, Research Data Curation turns scattered files into governed collections, and Access Governance Reviews make sure the sensitive branches remain under accountable control.
Enterprise teams and research groups face the same underlying problem from different directions. An enterprise inherits years of systems built by teams that have since moved on, and needs someone to trace what still depends on what. A research group accumulates datasets from instruments, partners and prior grants, and needs them catalogued before the knowledge walks out the door. Metazoa LLC works at that intersection, bringing systems design discipline to data that was never designed as a system in the first place.
We work from our Lehi works at 2963 N 600 E, Lehi - 84043-9636, United States (US), serving teams across the United States and abroad. Every engagement begins with a scoping conversation and ends with documentation your own people can carry forward. We measure success by whether your team can maintain the system after we leave, not by how long we stay. That is what it means to preserve a structure rather than merely install one.
Every record deserves a root, a label and a steward. Metazoa LLC builds the wall that holds all three in place.
How Engagements Run
From first trace to preserved structure
Trace
We map your sources, owners and dependencies to find the true roots of the data estate.
Classify
We define classes, vocabularies and rules that give every record a defensible place.
Connect
We engineer the integration and automation layer that keeps branches consistent.
Govern
We set access, provenance and review practices so the structure survives handover.
