Lucidea’s Year in Review: Client Driven Product Updates, Growth, Professional Development

VANCOUVER, British Columbia —Lucidea is home to a rich portfolio of market-leading knowledge management, library automation, and museum and archives collections management solutions. The company enjoyed another very strong year with exciting enhancements to their ILS, CMS, and KM applications, new titles from Lucidea Press, continued significant sponsorship and worldwide presence at conferences and tradeshows, and stellar operational, product development, and client service results. 

New Products and Features

Presto v5.5

Lucidea’s most recent enhancements to their flagship knowledge management software, Presto, deliver new features that simplify workflow, empower administrators, offer an even more pleasing and efficient user experience, and reflect client requests. 

Showcase Feature

The innovative Showcase feature is an exciting enhancement that enables archives, museum, and special library clients to offer curated content in a visual display with which users can interact—delivering an immersive experience that makes them want to know more—about your collections, and about the subject.

Evergreen Program Success 

Lucidea’s Evergreen Program delivers an upgrade path that allows users of their classic Library, Archival, KM, and Museum products to retain the value of their investment and take advantage of the power, features, benefits and innovations of Lucidea’s latest solutions, including SydneyEnterprise, GeniePlus, Presto, ArchivEra, and Argus. The Evergreen Program allows Lucidea to provide global clients of all sizes and budgets with the most advanced ILS, KM, and Collections Management applications available. During the past year, 25 clients with “classic” Lucidea products such as DB/TextWorks and Genie have successfully migrated to Lucidea’s newest, Web-based solutions. Choosing an Evergreen upgrade path ensures access to the most current and advanced features, user interface, security, and functionality—and allows clients to manage technology compatibility proactively. 

Newest Lucidea Press Titles

Lucidea’s commitment to delivering professional development resources to the library, knowledge management, archives, and museum sectors includes titles written by well-known experts, under their Lucidea Press imprint. In the past year, these have included:

Significant Global Tradeshow and Conference Presence

Lucidea maintained its focus on supporting library, KM, and museum and archives associations through conference sponsorship, participating both virtually and in-person. With the continued trend toward remote work and virtual access, the surge of interest in Lucidea’s software across the portfolio remains unabated, due to the increasing requirement to put collections online. 

Lucidea sponsored 41 tradeshows and conferences in the past year—including 6 venues new to them—delivering an innovative virtual presence through digital exhibit booths, webinars, and real-time meetings, and attending 14 shows in person. Lucidea’s ILS, KM, and CMS solutions were highlighted in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, at events including those produced by NCNC, CIMA, SCA, OMA, MAM, MAAM, BCMA, CALL, SLA, and Museums+Heritage.

Lucidea’s UK-based affiliate, Bailey Solutions, won the 2022 BIALL Supplier of the Year Award. Per BIALL, the aim of the Supplier of the Year award is to reward outstanding best practice by a supplier or a publisher in the field of legal information. 

Also in 2022, Lucidea became a proud Spectrum Partner whilst seeking compliance with its Standard and Procedures. Offered by the Collections Trust, Spectrum is the UK collection management standard used by museums and other collections-based organisations around the world.

Outlook

Lucidea once again reports that company-wide operational, product development, and client service results have met or exceeded targets—and they are on course for continued growth and improvement in 2023 and beyond.
