Archive Management Software (AMS) allows your customers, members, users or even the general public to find materials in your library or archive. These materials could be journals, reports, images, articles, objects, rare items, audio-visual materials, eBooks or any other kind of documents your users need to locate and access. All managed as digital or physical assets within the management system.
An AMS also allows your organization to establish structured relationships between types of data, such as fonds, series folders and items.
Soutron’s Archive Management Software even allows you to have your archive indexed by Google or be shared on social media platforms (if you have a public-facing archive and your organization wants to enable that functionality).
What Makes Soutron Archive the Ideal Solution for So Many Organizations?
Support, customizable data structures and flexible features set Soutron’s Archive Management Software apart from our competitors. Would you prefer to use your own style to structure content instead of ISAD(g) standards? Our team can help with that. Is it important for certain defined relationships to exist between various series and sub-series level documents in your archive? That’s not a problem.
Our archives also offer robust copyright control features to ensure you can strictly regulate who can see and/or download specific materials. These controls are fully customizable to ensure your data is protected without making it difficult to access for users with the proper allowances.
How Does Soutron Archive Management Software Display Results?
The archive management portal can be customized based on the types of data you’re storing and your own preferences. The Search Portal is fully mobile and tablet friendly and easy to navigate on any device.
You can even incorporate existing audio or video content from your YouTube, Vimeo or SoundCloud accounts so they display along with other results in your archive portal.
