Clients

Who are our clients?

Between the ease of eHive and the sophistication of Vernon CMS our clients range from the smallest of volunteer managed museums to substantial institutions managing millions of objects over multiple locations with hundreds of staff.

Our products are used internationally. If you’re looking at implementing a collections management system we encourage you to contact similar collecting organisations. We would be happy to make an introduction and suggest the most relevant clients.

Case studies

While both eHive and Vernon CMS are very different, they have the same foundation in common data standards. This is important as it allows the collection management systems to;

manage a wide range of collection types
improve the consistency of search results
share records with other systems
retain this collection data in a form that will be understood in the future.

Conservation, preservation and presentation of objects is a core function of memory institutions. With a modern collections management system organisations have a tool to efficiently extend this duty-of-care to include collection data. Future-proofed collection data is an asset you can grow and share over time.

What our users say

Having an online presence of a comprehensive and inclusive nature has certainly changed the dynamic of the Gold Museum’s interaction with the public. Some beautiful connections have been made where people have found family or other links that never would have occurred without Vernon CMS and eHive.Roger Trudgeon, Manager/Curator, Gold Museum, Ballarat, Australia in May 2014.

“I really enjoyed these sessions and got a lot out of them. My reporting has gone to a new level! I just wanted to commend you all for your organisation, preparation and management. I am constantly impressed by Vernon and it is really encouraging and inspiring to work with such a skilled organisation, thank you. Best wishes”Anna-Marie White - Curator

The user support and post-sales support and service are 5-star quality. Where many other software companies fail in this domain, the team at Vernon systems have always been there to help. The support, care and advice they provided was beyond our expectations and what could have been a difficult and problematic time, ended up being a smooth operation.Jesmond Calleja, Senior Registrar Collection Systems Integration, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia

I believe their interest in meeting the clients needs (rather than simply selling their product) is an invaluable aspect of our relationship with Vernon. One of the things I have been most impressed with about Vernon is how helpful the staff are whenever we have queries, problems, requests, etc. Vernon staff not only listen to comments/suggestions from users but we usually find that the suggestions appear in a subsequent upgrade whenever practicable, making Vernon a particularly responsive and evolving system.Laura Vodanovich, Registrar, Auckland Museum, New Zealand

We are pleased with our Vernon Collection Management System and the support we are receiving in our usage of the system. It has been a great step forward for us.Ewen K Cameron Acting Head of Natural History, and Mei Nee Lee, Botany Technician, Auckland Museum, New Zealand

The general ease with which data can be exported into a variety of formats from the Vernon database has made information sharing, report building and inventorying of collections common practice among collection staff.Brian Patrick, Collections & Research Manager, Otago Museum, New Zealand

The Vernon system has evolved considerably since 1993 and is now one of the worlds foremost collection management systems. This development has only been possible because of the excellent working relationship that Vernon has developed with its clients. Vernon staff have a sound understanding of the Museum and Gallery ′business′ which many other software suppliers often fail to grasp. I have worked with a range of staff at Vernon, all of whom I found exceptionally helpful, prompt and efficient. As an example of Vernon′s outstanding customer support, when contacting VSL by phone I always get answered in person (unless I ring after hours), and if the person I need is not immediately available they are remarkably prompt at getting back to me shortly after.Doug Rogan, former Senior Collections Manager / Documentation, Canterbury Museum, New Zealand
