NZ galleries & museums rarely seem to have the full complement of web staff (programmers, designers, integrators, UX and content) which means a lot of work gets shopped out to vendors - which can be great, I've done some wonderful projects with external vendors - but which can also mean that you're stuck with something you can't maintain, and no extra staff knowledge at the end of the process. <br /><br />Thanks for bringing My Tours up; I should have noted it here too. It's good for people out there to see the range of options available to them before they start commissioning work.<br /><br />CourtneyCourtney Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634389572794209243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254410590157839056.post-38731871027605954172010-04-10T20:45:15.281+12:002010-04-10T20:45:15.281+12:00There is definitely a place for an open source sol...There is definitely a place for an open source solution and will fit the needs of a lot of institutions. However a lot of smaller institutions do not have the skills, staff or budgets to install, upgrade and deploy a CMS let alone compile applications for the iPhone and other platforms. At My Tours we are trying to provide a simple set of tools that will work for both the smaller museums and larger organisations all without locking the users into to longer term contracts or proprietary formats.Glen Barneshttp://www.mytoursapp.comnoreply@blogger.com
