Lucidea’s Evergreen Program

Your Upgrade Path for Continuity of Value

If you’re already using one of Lucidea’s trusted legacy systems—such as DB/TextWorks, SydneyPLUS, Genie, Cuadra, or Eloquent—the Evergreen Program offers a clear, supported upgrade path to our newest, most powerful products.

Retain the value of your investment while gaining access to modern features, enhanced security, and improved user experiences with solutions like ArchivEra, Argus, SydneyDigital, and Presto.

From Legacy to Leading-Edge

We know you value your current Lucidea system and, in many cases, have relied on it for years. The Evergreen Program honors that investment while allowing you to embrace new technologies.

We’ll help you upgrade seamlessly to a modern solution that:

• Keeps pace with evolving functional and security requirements
• Ensures compatibility with the latest browsers, operating systems, and mobile devices
• Provides access to ongoing updates and innovations
• Offers a user-friendly transition experience for your team

Evergreen Program Benefits

• Available to all existing Lucidea clients—regardless of size or sector
• Minimal disruption and cost (often similar to your current subscription or maintenance fee)
• Access to the latest features, UI enhancements, and security measures
• Future-proofed against expensive emergency upgrades
• Can be combined with the Essentia Program for right-sized scaling

Choosing an Evergreen upgrade path ensures access to the most current features, user interface, security, and functionality.

If you’re a DB/TextWorks, Genie, SydneyPLUS, Cuadra, or Eloquent user ready to benefit from the performance, security, and innovation of our latest solutions, the Evergreen Program is your path forward.

You have options. Improved technology, capabilities, and security–at a similar cost. Evergreen.

Lucidea’s Evolution Program

A Clear Migration Path to Your Ideal Solution

If your current CMS, ILS, or KM solution is limiting you—whether it’s due to outdated architecture, limited functionality, storage constraints, or security concerns—Lucidea’s Evolution Program offers a smooth, secure path forward.

We’ll help you:

• Migrate your data safely and completely.
• Reimagine and optimize your workflows.
• Implement a modern, extensible solution.

Simple, Secure Migration

We understand that migrating to a new system can seem daunting, but with the Evolution Program, the process is easier than you think. Our proven approach minimizes downtime, reduces frustration, and eliminates the uncertainty often associated with data migration.

Lucidea’s products are built to evolve with you, delivering the features, flexibility, and support your organization needs to thrive. We’ll guide you every step of the way so you can move confidently into the future.

“As our needs evolved, it became clear that our existing CMS was no longer working for us. Not only do we need to perform basic collections care, we need a system that will support public access, enable growth, and match our innovative strategies.”
Yasmeen Kazak, MacLaren Art Centre Curatorial Assistant, on why her team decided to switch to Argus.

Evolution Program Benefits

• Direct path from legacy to modern functionality
• Enhanced security, access, and digital engagement
• Digital transformation without continuity loss
• Trusted implementation and onboarding

• Can be combined with the Evergreen Program

If it’s time to move on from your current system, the Evolution Program will move you forward—on your timeline and your terms.
