Complete library solution

One engineering partner across the whole knowledge-service stack.

Plan a new service, replace a fragile system, connect platforms, recover operations, or improve what already exists. Scope is shaped around collections, users, standards, infrastructure, and the team that must own the result.

ILS

Library automation

Circulation, cataloguing, acquisitions, serials, authorities, patron services, reports, notices, and multi-branch operations.

OPAC

Discovery and public catalogue

Fast, accessible discovery experiences with facets, account journeys, responsive themes, search tuning, and external enrichment.

IR

Institutional repositories

Repositories for theses, publications, datasets, heritage material, departmental collections, and controlled-access content.

RDM

Research data management

Dataset deposit, metadata, identifiers, access policy, researcher profiles, preservation planning, and repository interoperability.

JNL

Journal publishing

Editorial workflow, peer review, issue production, journal identity, DOI readiness, indexing preparation, email, and publication support.

ARC

Archives and special collections

Accessioning, arrangement, description, authority control, finding aids, rights, digital objects, and public archival discovery.

EXH

Digital collections and exhibits

Metadata-led public collections, digital storytelling, linked data, maps, timelines, exhibitions, and community contribution.

DATA

Migration and metadata engineering

Source profiling, MARC transformation, authority cleanup, crosswalks, deduplication, validation, rehearsal, and accountable cutover.

INT

Library integrations

SIP2, RFID, self-check, SSO, LDAP, APIs, discovery layers, email, SMS, identifiers, analytics, payment, and institutional systems.

DIG

Digitisation workflows

Capture planning, file organization, OCR coordination, derivative generation, metadata, quality control, access, and preservation packaging.

OPS

Hosting, security and continuity

Architecture, deployment, HTTPS, hardening, monitoring, backups, restoration, upgrades, auto-healing, and incident response.

TEAM

Training and managed support

Role-based training, operating guides, administrator handover, helpdesk, maintenance, improvement cycles, and long-term service ownership.

Open-source platform practice

Choose the right system—not simply the familiar one.

Koha, DSpace, OJS, and Drupal are backed by published delivery work. Other platforms are offered through discovery, technical assessment, prototyping, implementation, integration, and support without implying prior project delivery.

From strategy to stewardship

A complete delivery path.

  1. 01Discover

    Service goals, users, collections, policy, constraints, and risk.

  2. 02Architect

    Platform, infrastructure, data, integrations, security, and ownership.

  3. 03Implement

    Configuration, development, theming, automation, and content structure.

  4. 04Migrate

    Repeatable transformation, reconciliation, sampling, and cutover.

  5. 05Launch

    Journey testing, training, documentation, recovery, and acceptance.

  6. 06Sustain

    Monitoring, upgrades, support, improvement, backup, and restoration.

Engagements

Specialist teams where the work needs depth.

These service lines combine product thinking, Drupal engineering, infrastructure, operational support, and knowledge-platform expertise.

What we deliver

  • Koha library automation and OPAC delivery
  • DSpace institutional repositories
  • OJS journal publishing platforms
  • Data migration, integrations, training, monitoring, and managed support

The next useful step

Bring us the real problem.

Share the platform, data, operational constraint, or institutional goal. An engineer will help define a responsible path forward.
