The solution…

OPEN software and communication

OPEN is more then the source

Example is Drupal

The OPEN solution
1) An open-source collection management system where a lot of organisations and companies can work and invest together to make a good product.
 Collective Access
2) A scalable quality hosting solution who is concurrencial priced, easy in setup and has a transparant cost for when your collection grow.
 Cloud hosting on the Amazon cloud

We start a pilotproject to test this solution
1) Testing CollectiveAccess an open-source collections management software for museums, archives and digital collections.
2) Building a hosted scalable „pay what you use“ Cloud hosting for CollectiveAccess + integrated backup solution.
3) Bringing people together in a Community of Practice to give advise, help and test.
This pilotproject CollectiveAccess and Cloud Computing runs in 2009 and 2010 in Flanders.
