Online Information Seminars

Wednesday 2nd December

Moving a major cultural institution onto an Open Source Web CMS
10:30 - 11:00 - Theatre A
The Victoria and Albert Museum is the world's largest museum of art and design, housing a permanent collection of over 4.5 million objects. The V&A selected MySource Matrix as their preferred CMS for their recent website redesign project, which involved putting their entire collections database online. The V&A did much of the implementation themselves with additional implementation and consultancy services being supplied by Squiz. (nb: the site is due to go live in August). This talk will focus on the decision making process that the V&A went through in order to choose a CMS and the reasons why they eventually decided upon a supported Open Source option, MySource Matrix.
Unfortunately a paper for this presentation is not yet available.
