TEstimonial

The Commonwealth Secretariat

Integrating our library and the archives data into a single system without compromising the collection management functionality on either side was a priority. Finally we are able to present our entire holdings to researchers in one go. As existing customers it feels like we’ve had some rather bespoke attention for a very modest increase in our costs.
