Developed by Soutron Global’s newly acquired MINISIS Inc., CAMS is an all-in-one, cross-cultural, multi-functional solution for archives, libraries and museums that was designed to streamline collection management for collections that have differing cataloguing workflows.
What is a Cultural Asset Management System?
Unlike single-discipline library, archives and museum collection management products, CAMS goes beyond traditional collection management systems by integrating archive, library and museum cataloguing into a single, online, cohesive platform. This advanced solution enhances cataloguing workflows, facilitates comprehensive collection management and accessibility, plus offers an optional Trusted Digital Repository (TDR) for long-term preservation.
“CAMS represents a significant advancement in cultural asset management,” said Christopher Burcsik, of the MINISIS group at Soutron Global. “For too long, organisations have struggled with fragmented systems and content silos. They can now manage diverse cultural assets with greater efficiency while ensuring their historical and informational integrity in a fully online experience.”
