Click Netherfield Limited

At the intersection of Operational Impact, Collections Care and Macro-Environmental Concerns: How Click Netherfield can help.

As we observe the global trends across the cultural sector, and with geo-political issues taking center stage along with a renewed focus on mitigating environmental impact, reducing operational costs and meeting the ever-challenging restrictions of modern project budgets, the importance of high performance, well engineered conservation showcases is at the forefront of the discussion.

Can conservation and collections care parameters be loosened to have a positive impact on the environment and operational budget? Does your institution have the tools and equipment required to be able to make the necessary decisions with confidence, agility and careful consideration of your collection?

Lucidea

Move from Working Within your CMS to Presenting your Collection Online in One Fell Swoop!

In dialogue with museum professionals at varied collecting institutions we hear about many challenges. Issues common to many institutions include not being able to easily track everything—e.g., the cataloguing, the intake and outtake workflows, the images and the paperwork—all in one place, and within a CMS that accommodates the collection instead of forcing their collection to adapt to a particular system. Our Argus collections management system is purpose built to match museum workflows, but with the flexibility to configure it to unique requirements without coding or reliance on the IT department.
