The implementation of MuseumPlus is structured into four key phases, each tailored to the institution’s needs:
Outcome: Clarifies questions, explores use cases, and identifies potential modules.
Deliverable: A tailored implementation plan.
On-Premise: Installed on the institution’s infrastructure.
Estimated Duration: Varies by project size, typically 3 to 6 months for mid-sized institutions. Large-scale implementations may take longer.
MuseumPlus is highly customizable and is designed to adapt to the unique workflows of museums, archives, and cultural institutions. Here are the key customization capabilities:
Modular Design
Institutions can choose from a wide range of modules (e.g., collections, exhibitions, loans, conservation, events) based on their needs.
Custom Data Fields & Forms
Users can define their own fields, forms, and views to match internal documentation standards and workflows.
Custom Workflows
MuseumPlus supports the integration of custom workflows for cataloging, conservation, and exhibition planning.
Websites (e.g., WordPress plugins for custom presentation)
Branding & UI Customization
The public-facing interface (e.g., eMuseumPlus) can be customized to match the institution’s branding and design.
Localization
The platform supports multiple languages and can be localized for regional use, including Arabic.
Custom Reports & Exports
Institutions can create tailored reports, exports, and data views for internal or public use.
MuseumPlus offers both SaaS (cloud) and on-premise deployment options, and costs vary accordingly. Here are the typical cost components:
Starting Price: £90 (€100 / CHF 120) per concurrent user per month.
Software updates
Training: Optional training packages for staff and administrators.
For on-premise installations, support contracts are negotiated separately.
Premium: Optional incremental backups with rollback up to 3 months (extra cost).
MuseumPlus provides a structured onboarding and long-term support system designed to ensure smooth adoption and effective use:
Covers system navigation, data entry, module usage, and administrative functions.
In regions like Greece, Cyprus, and the Middle East, local partners (e.g., PostScriptum, Naseej) provide region-specific training.
Video conferencing support
MuseumPlus employs robust security protocols, especially for its SaaS offering:
Supports both cloud and on-premise deployments.
Institutions can negotiate individual backup strategies.
MuseumPlus follows a structured update and maintenance cycle, especially for its SaaS (cloud-hosted) version:
No fixed public schedule is disclosed, but updates are typically rolled out several times per year as part of the SaaS service.
May require downtime or IT support depending on infrastructure.
MuseumPlus, especially under its SaaS model, maintains a clear and client-centric policy on data ownership and portability:
This applies to all content: object records, media files, metadata, and user-generated content.
This ensures that institutions can migrate their data to another system if needed.
Users can also perform manual exports from the interface.
MuseumPlus is designed to be scalable and modular, allowing institutions to adjust their usage based on evolving needs:
Custom Features: Institutions can request custom workflows, reports, or integrations as their operations grow.
Deactivate Modules: Unused modules can be removed or disabled to simplify the interface and reduce costs.
Customization Review: Renewal may include a review of modules, user licenses, and support needs.
No Refunds: Prepaid fees may not be refundable unless specified in the contract.
MuseumPlus is compliant with international museum documentation and data standards, ensuring interoperability and best practices:
