Digital archives

Being able to manage one’s data with ease is a fundamental value
Storing information and materials is not enough: it’s essential to be able to access data quickly, modify and integrate it, and conduct in-depth searches and targeted comparisons. Additionally, the ability to produce and print lists and reports and to export data for sharing with other collaborators or on different systems is crucial.
To meet these needs, we design and develop custom archiving and management systems tailored to handle databases, images, and documents. Each solution is crafted to adapt to the variety of formats, types, and specific requirements that each context demands.

The management applications we develop, including client-server solutions, are based on the Claris FileMaker Pro system and offer numerous advantages
Simplicity and Flexibility
  • Extremely user-friendly for data entry, searching, and editing.
  • High flexibility and customization of structure to meet any requirement.
  • Integrated system for managing images and documents.
  • Ability to evolve over time: you can expand your database with new modules, sections, and tables later without re-entering data.

Accessibility and Security
  • A wide range of database access solutions, both offline and online, including the option to access and work on the archive from multiple locations and by multiple users simultaneously (client-server solution) on both Windows and iOS platforms.
  • Maximum security and data protection guarantees, thanks to data protection systems, user accounts with differentiated access, and regular backups.

Publishing and Sharing
  • The ability to set and use print formats and functions for every need: documents, analytical forms, lists, labels, etc.
  • Integration of barcode and QR code scanning.
  • Ready for publishing and sharing database data on custom-designed websites and mobile applications.

Development Steps
  1. Study and design of the proposed case.
  2. Analysis of materials already digitized and those to be digitized.
  3. Definition of the application’s logical structure and required functionalities.
  4. Solution development: creation of tables and relationships, setting up display and entry formats, and scripting.
  5. Data and functionality testing and verification.
  6. Training for proper database entry.
  7. Selection of hosting mode (remote or local) and release of the complete application.
