Momapix multipiattaforma

The Fondazione Alinari chose MomaPIX as its platform of choice for the digital management of its heritage. The aim was to give continuity to the historical legacy of the Archive while equipping it with the most appropriate tools to face the present and the digital future.
The project involved complete integration with MomaPIX, with a focus on renewing the management system without altering the public interface of the site, which was kept in line with the existing graphic design.

A tailor-made system for complex requirements
The core of the project involved replacing the previous management system, which had been developed internally over more than twenty years, to meet the archive's specific needs. However, this platform now needed to evolve in order to respond to new requirements for flexibility, updatability and interoperability. MomaPIX provided a bespoke digital environment capable of addressing the complexities of image description and management while complying with the cataloguing standards set by the Italian Ministry of Culture. This environment could support the Foundation's operational, promotional and commercial activities in a more agile and integrated manner.

A platform structured for cataloguing and operational needs
The new platform offers:

• Descriptive files that comply with national and international standards.;
  
• Customisable, hierarchical thesauri for semantic navigation;
  
• Advanced Digital Asset Management (DAM) functionality;
  
• Integration with the accounting system for automatic invoice issuance;
  
• Editorial tools for independently organising exhibitions, projects and blogs;
  
• Optimised workflows designed for efficient, sustainable management over time.
