Make your collection more visible and accessible than ever before
Enhanced Curation and Enriched Experiences
[We value Lucidea for] flexibility, complexity. The ability to handle many different scenarios and types of collections. The customer support is really solid as well.
Being able to customize the public interface and handle multiple collections from various partner sites with multimedia incorporated made [Argus] an easy choice.
[We chose Argus because] we wish to maintain our fields and as much of our workflow as possible, while adding in some additional features.
I’m really excited about Argus and the positive impact it will have on internal teams and on our online visitors’ search experience.
Argus is easy to use and has functionalities that simplify and guide our actions. We are very pleased with our decision to integrate Argus into our work flow.
We have always wanted to make the collection broadly accessible … when the ability to offer Web access presented itself via Argus… we knew it was the right choice.
[T]he efficient integration between the administrative back end and the public portal [was an] overriding factor… in our choice to manage our collection with Argus.
[We implemented a Lucidea product because] the Argus software is so well suited to our requirements.
Our museum converted from Open Edition to Argus at the end of 2013. Lucidea has been a responsive resource throughout the experience.
Being a private organisation we rely on grant money therefore have a limited budget – Lucidea genuinely found ways of working within that.
[Lucidea distinguished itself from other vendors with] excellent communication from sales rep, lower cost up front, flexible model of database that feels “customizable”.
[Lucidea Sales staff] have been incredibly supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable in our search for a collections management system that we are really excited to implement.
Argus came out on top every time, they had great references, offered capabilities that would make both gallery staff and IT happy, and were well within budget.
…we went through a rigorous procurement process with a number of different applicants, and we scored every element. Argus came out on top every time.

Stay Local while going Global
A (previously) hidden gem of a regional museum uses Argus to fulfill their goal of focusing on technology based outreach through a Web portal, enabling research and general perusal of their collection by visitors around the world, expanding their reputation and even inspiring in-person visits. Historically a hands-on family friendly place focused on educating and entertaining the local community, their new strategy includes showcasing their collection to virtual visitors further afield—offering a great Web-based “global community” resource that is modern and sustainable well into the future.

Training and support… unparalleled and included
Our museum converted from Open Edition to Argus at the end of 2013. Lucidea has been a responsive resource throughout the experience.
Our biggest problem[with our current system] is the number of glitches that we were continually working around so we look forward to the help desk support that we will receive with Lucidea.
With Argus…training that used to take at least half an hour now requires “maybe a minute or two over the phone.”
