Lucidea’s Year in Review: Client Driven Product Enhancements, Virtual Presence, Growth

(VANCOUVER, British Columbia —) Lucidea is home to a rich portfolio of market-leading knowledge management, library automation, and museum and archives collections management solutions. The company enjoyed another very strong year in 2021 with exciting upgrades to their ILS, CMS, and KM applications, several new products, an increasing worldwide presence at conferences and tradeshows, and the addition of Bailey Solutions in the UK to the Lucidea family of companies.

New Products and Features

PrestoWorks and PrestoWorks Publisher

Lucidea also released PrestoWorks and PrestoWorks Publisher, two fantastic standalone choices for knowledge management and Web publishing that also serve as the next generation upgrades for Inmagic DB/TextWorks users. With PrestoWorks, DB/TextWorks clients will now be able to leverage the latest technology, and enjoy a new user interface, purpose-built workflows, enhanced security, robust functionality and exciting additional capabilities.

Per Lucidea’s Marketing Manager, Mark Maslowski, “PrestoWorks and PrestoWorks Publisher are robust KM and Web-publishing solutions for information professionals seeking to upgrade their knowledge management capabilities, while dramatically expanding user engagement and optimizing their Web presence.

Android App for Argus CMS Clients

For Argus museum collections management system clients, Lucidea released its Android App for Argus Mobile. It’s a free app, available in the Google Play Store. Argus Mobile is a companion to Lucidea’s Argus Museum Collections Management System. Argus museum and gallery clients can use Argus Mobile to work remotely while roaming galleries or warehouses. It’s easy to use with your Android device’s camera—just scan, tap, and go; your database will always be up to date. **iPhone users can visit the Apple App store to download their version.

SLA 2021 Diamond Sponsorship

Keeping a longstanding tradition, Lucidea attended the Special Libraries Association’s Annual Conference as a Diamond Sponsor, with an exciting lineup of events and updates. Their experts were on hand in their Virtual Exhibit Booth to demonstrate Lucidea’s library automation, knowledge management, and CMS products, designed to accommodate every budget and organization size.

They engaged with hundreds of visitors to their booth, as well as reporting hundreds of video views, click-throughs and downloads from people who wanted to see the latest developments to their suite of integrated library system and knowledge management solutions and enjoy their many professional development offerings.

Lucidea’s SLA events lineup focused on ways special librarians can deliver a full portfolio of services and content virtually—in addition to exploring the impact and evolution of knowledge management in special libraries. Their education sessions and solutions showcase included: The Five Cs of Knowledge Management in Special Libraries (presented by Stan Garfield), Go from Chaos to KM in Minutes, and Show Your Stuff & Meet Users Where They Are, with Powerful 3rd Party Content Importing.

Increasing Global Virtual Tradeshow and Conference Presence

In addition to its presence at SLA 2021, despite the pandemic, Lucidea maintained its focus on supporting library, KM, and museum and archives associations by attending—and in many cases, sponsoring—their virtual conferences. Notably, with the increase in remote work and virtual access there was a surge of interest in Lucidea’s software across the portfolio, due to the increasing requirement to put collections online. Providing special incentives and offers as support for existing and prospective clients during COVID is one of the many ways Lucidea has answered the challenge of a very difficult time for everyone.

  • Lucidea sponsored more tradeshows and conferences in 2021 than ever before; 47 in total—including 14 venues new to them—delivering an innovative virtual presence through digital exhibit booths, webinars, and real-time meetings. Lucidea’s ILS, KM, and CMS solutions were highlighted in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, at events including those produced by ALIA, ARMA, NEA, CILIP, MARAC, BCLA, CMA, AAM, BIALL, SLA, MARAC AND SAA.

Growth in the UK

Finally, Lucidea, welcomes Bailey Solutions, Ltd. into their family of companies. The Lucidea group has over 3,000 clients in more than 50 countries, and delivers a range of complementary products suitable for the library, knowledge management, archives, and museum sectors.

Penny Bailey, Managing Director of Bailey Solutions said, “We are very pleased and looking forward to this next exciting new chapter. Joining Lucidea brings great benefits for us and our clients including access to additional financial and client services resources, ability to expand internationally, and ongoing product development.” Per Ron Aspe, Lucidea’s CEO, “Lucidea joined forces with Bailey Solutions Ltd. because we enthusiastically believe in its management and products. We look forward to helping Bailey expand its customer base around the world.”

Lucidea once again reports that company-wide operational, product development, and client service results have met or exceeded targets—and are on course for continued growth and improvement in 2022 and beyond.
