As the central repository of archival information for many institutions, ArchivesSpace plays a critical role supporting the daily activities performed by special collections and archives institutions. However, it is only one piece of a larger software ecosystem employed by these institutions, and many institutions maintain several other applications that perform other tasks, such as digital asset management, patron fulfillment workflow management, etc. While the employment of so many systems can have a negative impact on staff efficiency due to increased training needs, disparate workflows, and duplication of work between systems, it doesn’t have to. Integrating these disparate systems together allows institutions to couple various systems together to create efficient workflows that minimize the duplication of work while maximizing the overall benefit of the entire set of applications.
