<div dir="ltr">Hi Lewis,<div>We purchased Proficio Elements as a replacement for Past Perfect and have been very happy with it. Including new hardware and two user licences (a must!) we are into it for about $3500. Feel free to contact me if you want more info on our experience. Check with them about the technical aspects.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Feb 9, 2021 at 3:56 PM Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv. <<a href="mailto:bcma@lists.vifa.ca">bcma@lists.vifa.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello all.<br>
<br>
We’ve exhausted our creative brain cells trying to figure out how we can adapt our annual exhibit season in keeping with the Covid guidelines as well as struggling to get visitors (any local person would do) into our museum.<br>
<br>
So we are going to use this time to concentrate once and for all on getting our entire inventory into a digital format that is searchable, detailed, and can work with our existing website and our plans for a post covid virtual museum website.<br>
<br>
Like the story of the Grasshopper and the Ants, we have been bouncing this idea of getting on the stick with a more accurate system of inventory of artefacts for years. Unfortunately we have a LOT of time on our hands and have received some donation funding to purchase hardware and software to accomplish this.<br>
<br>
What type of inventory system do you use or is used mostly in the industry that is both PC and Mac compatible? We already are reluctantly moving some of our basic SOPs, graphic projects, legal documents to the Cloud with a separate external HD back up located off site.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any advice for us as we move from paper and pen to paperless record keeping. <br>
<br>
At your service,<br>
