Dear Colleagues-- We've been using the same collections mgmt system for around 8 years now. It's a local installation, and the product includes an option to upload data and associated image derivatives to an SQL database which is open to the public; it's hosted on a server maintained by the software company.
While the on-prem database suits us well, we want to migrate away from this public web portal they offer to something more sophisticated and customizable. I'm looking for suggestions--this would be something easy to update/sync to our on-prem database, preferably out of the box so we have a support team to turn to, with robust querying capabilities, native ecommerce or the ability to integrate with 3rd-party software, tools for building online exhibits, and a visitor-friendly interface which would allow people to create user accounts, save favorites, etc. Is this pie-in-the-sky? We're writing this into a grant and so counting on having some capital to throw at it. Thanks very much for any insight. Best, Matt -- Matt Wheeler, Photography Archives, Penobscot Marine Museum Archives (207) 548-2529 ext. 211 5 Church Street, PO Box 498 Searsport, Maine 04974 _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: [email protected] To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
