About

We collaborate closely on any or all of the steps required in developing our clients digital ecosystem, from developing an initial digital strategy to putting the right processes and solutions in place to deliver it. We also often help with skills development as part of our collaborations to boost your own in-house digital team.

We develop open source software products and components to accelerate client projects and ensure more capabilities are within the reach of a wider range of organisations. These products employ open standards wherever possible and we are active participants in the communities that support and develop them. We have provided significant input and facilitation towards the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) community, for example. As a result we have been able to identify many common use cases and consolidate them into robust easy-to-use IIIF-native software.

Technical innovation is always a key ingredient in maximising impact within the digital domain, this is more true than ever with the latest developments in machine learning and AI. We have developed our own dedicated practice to help our customers evaluate where this ever-evolving field can be of value and to differentiate between hype, utility and responsibility.

Ultimately our customers want to: showcase their collections for discovery and engagement; enrich and transform their data; run crowdsourcing and research projects; and establish the digital infrastructure to manage and utilise their digital collections. Through continuous research we strive to bring these interconnected areas together in a way that resonates with the goals of both individual institutions and the sector as a whole.
