... we are very satisfied with the EMu software, and with the level of support that we receive from KE Software. We work very hard at building, editing and sharing our database, and are continually challenged to make the process more efficient and comprehensive. We find that the folks at KE Software are as determined as we are to meet these challenges, and we feel privileged to have them our partner in this work.
Barbara M. Thiers, Ph.D. Director, William and Lynda Steere Herbarium The New York Botanical Garden
EMu has been chosen by Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain as its collection management system because of its ability to be adapted to our logistical requirements. EMu is a tool that will allow us to trace the movements of each work of art as well as gathering and storing all technical information together in a database which is integrated and user-friendly.
Alanna Minta Jordan Service de la logistique Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain
The Manchester Museum installed KE EMu four years ago. Since then the management of our collections has improved considerably. We now have a consistent system in use throughout the Museum that allows users to query the data for research, learning and enjoyment. The addition of community-based Narratives has reconnected the Museum and its collections to source communities and users around the world.
Malcolm Chapman (Former) Principal Curator of Collections Management The Manchester Museum, The University of Manchester
Implementation of KE EMu in the Fish Group at the Natural History Museum has had a dramatic effect. It has empowered our curators to enhance the Fish Collection in ways not possible before and enabled them to grow in their jobs and become more professional as collection managers.
Dr. Darrell J. Siebert Department of Zoology, Fish Group The Natural History Museum
The Natural History Museum (NHM) was delighted that the KE EMu implementation was delivered on time and under budget and is probably the first science project to achieve this. The existence of a single database covering all specimens - zoological, entomological, palaeontological, botanical and mineralogical - has been a major factor in improving efficiency and optimising consistent business processes across the Museum.
Graham Higley Head of NHM Library & Information Services, Chair of Biodiversity Heritage Library The Natural History Museum (London)
Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums holds outstanding collections, of international importance, and we are delighted to be working with KE Software in order to improve access to them. KE Software has a proven track record of delivering collections management, and together we are looking forward to using the technology available to us to deliver a world class service to our users around the world.
Iain Watson Director Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums
KE Software have proven excellent to deal with. We have found them reliable and straight forward in their approach to our requirements. Since going "live" in September 2003, we have been very impressed by the reliability of the software. We have experienced very few disruptions with EMu itself and it is a favourite with our IT staff.
Lynne McNairn User Systems Administrator Powerhouse Museum
We found KE Software happy to sit down with us and work through our issues in order to get a result that satisfied both parties.
