Good morning,
Within the Ministry of Culture & Tourism, we have a number of different collections using TMS. I am working to ensure that as a Ministry, we stick with our system, despite some users feeling the system is not ideal for their discipline-specific
needs. While I recognize some users may be frustrated, I strongly believe the issues are in our implementation and some frustration from when the system was installed (ca. 2002), and do not necessarily reflect the capabilities of TMS today.
I am looking for brief comments on how TMS is being used, and how it has been customized locally in the following types of collections. If possible, I would like to share the comments and institution name in an internal Briefing Note to
executives on Monday.
I am looking for feedback from the following types of collecting institutions:
·
Natural history
·
Archaeology
·
Automotive/Transportation History
·
Mixed collections
Please feel free to share with me offline, or forward to an appropriate colleague. I would very, very, very much appreciate any information you might be able to provide!
Kind Regards,
Erin.
