A Corporate Library is a uniquely focused service that encompasses law libraries, medical libraries, news libraries, non-profit libraries, research libraries, information centres, and knowledge centres.
This page is designed for corporate and special library managers and staff who are seeking to improve knowledge management and access within their organizations. Here, we will cover the essential features, benefits, and expertise behind corporate library software, and explain why it is a critical tool for modern information management.
Corporate library software serves as a centralized hub for managing knowledge across an organization. It is designed to handle diverse formats of information, including both physical and digital assets, ensuring that valuable resources are organized, accessible, and secure. Key features to look for include enterprise search, which enables users to quickly locate information across multiple collections, and role-based security, which ensures that sensitive data is only accessible to authorized personnel. Additionally, corporate library software integrates with other enterprise systems for seamless access to information, supporting efficient workflows and collaboration across departments.
The first step is to learn more. Here's how we can answer your questions:
Please note: We always respect your privacy.
Corporate library software is a specialized platform that acts as a centralized knowledge hub for organizations. Its core features include:
Enterprise Search: Enables users to search across all physical and digital resources efficiently.
Role-Based Security: Protects sensitive information by allowing access only to authorized users.
Integration with Enterprise Systems: Connects with other business applications for seamless information sharing.
Support for Diverse Formats: Manages both physical and digital assets, including documents, AV materials, and more.
By providing these capabilities, corporate library software empowers library managers and staff to streamline knowledge management, improve access to information, and support better decision-making across the organization.
Soutron has been created as a platform through which library management and knowledge services can be delivered to end users, acting as a centralized hub that helps simplify knowledge management and improve access to information sharing across the business. The flexibility our solutions bring is in direct response to the different needs and requirements that can be placed upon a “special” library, to support a modern library system that manages diverse formats, including physical collections, digital content, and other digital AV assets.

Soutron’s corporate library software saves time through the provision of prepared searches; saved searches, catalogue alerts and the introduction of Collections – a new feature to help with sharing content.
Soutron has search accuracy and relevance ranking that you can customise to help minimise the time users spend. Our search functionality has undergone a transformation to provide more flexibility in the presentation of materials. This includes faceted searching and improved presentation.
For clients seeking a solution to integrate with information from other suppliers and publishers, there is functionality to further accelerate efficiencies and simplify the management of electronic information in this area to offer end users an enhanced user experience incorporating more than just library data.
The management of loans for physical materials and self-issue facilities are built into Soutron’s corporate library software and solutions. New capabilities to harness electronic materials by liaising with publishers are now possible with Soutron’s web technologies. Our control over downloads and electronic documents and tools to protect copyright are practical and simple to put into effect.
Usage statistics, and analysis of what is being searched for, are available to inform and help the library manager make decisions about the content and use of services. This can be analysed by each library and can be broken down by department or practice area. Additional reporting needs are met by a complete audit trail in the system.
Any reports you need can be presented as menu selections to be run at any time to deliver real-time data. Our database stores all historical data to allow year-on-year comparisons and to report on trends. If you would rather, we can arrange to have reports sent to an email address at a specific time and day of the week/month/year. Our background task services save you from having to remember to pull data from the system manually.
