Combine high level collection management with powerful content automation opportunities

The MuseumPlus connector provides you with possibilities as it unites two different but powerful platforms. The creators of MuseumPlus, Zetcom, have a wide range of experience in Collection Management, this comes from working with over 900 different institutions internationally. As a result, they have observed the specific areas that deeply matter to most museums, galleries, and other types of cultural heritage organizations. Building on this knowledge, MuseumPlus has a range of ready-built features, customized for collection management needs. This includes ways to manage exhibitions, the loaning of collections, restoration, and much more.

The versatile Fotoware Alto platform has versatile features but has key strengths in the fields of digital asset management and content automation, with additional powerful capabilities in metadata management. The MuseumPlus connector unites these two powerful platforms, allowing each to perform even better in unison. For each piece managed on MuseumPlus, along with all of the related details, Fotoware Alto provides the sturdy content backbone for managing media content such as images and videos related to those pieces and allows users managing their collection assets to take greater control thanks to intelligent automation options.

Powering Pieces with Content that Shines
