Abstract	This paper presents the results of a need analysis study of culture-based genealogy software for indigenous communities in Borneo and the challenges while introducing a software application proposal to the communities. Introducing a new software application to the indigenous communities which may change their way of living is not an easy task as they have been practicing their norm of life from generation to generation. Therefore, initial study is necessary to assess their readiness and understanding on how new technology may affect their daily life, cultures and beliefs. Their cultures relate to every stage of their life. It is a very complex body of knowledge, which needs a proper technique in order to capture, analyse, preserve and interpret it. At this stage of research, the work is focused on the marriage culture which is strongly related to genealogy. However, comprehensive component of the proposed software is essential, so that it provides a robust platform for other remote communities beliefs and cultures models. According to the study on 20 respondents, aged between 17 until 59 years old, 80% of the respondents are willing to use the genealogy software, 25% of the respondents never knew about the genealogy software and 36% of them are not sure about the software. Finally, the prototype of a new genealogy software that integrates indigenous community cultures is presented.
