Design philosophy
The challenge “The challenge which we face as a community is to move on from standards and systems which promote ‘vertical’ information management within separate organisational functions like conservation, documentation, outreach, education or finance, and towards a more integrated, holistic and horizontal approach based on enterprise-wide knowledge and information management.” Nick Poole, CEO, Collections Trust, 2012

Current users “Having struggled for years with old databases and synchronising updates to our website, now we can manage everything within our Collection and websites from anywhere in the world – and our updates are instant! Qi lets us properly audit, archive and report on our Collection and the whole of our Visual Arts programme globally.” Sarah Gillett, former Head of Arts Digital and Communications. British Council.
