TAMH: Can we do the same for you?

DMC is a multimedia software company with a specialisation in developing interactive and Web-based applications for museums and galleries. We have offices in Scotland and in Cleveland, Ohio.

Before your project even begins we can help with consultancy on development, resourcing, formats and equipment. We can take the whole project from concept to final evaluation or we can provide help and guidance to your own staff along the way. From CD-ROM production to touchscreen applications and complex Web sites like this one with integrated databases and large image collections, we understand the sensitivities, the business issues, the technologies, and the solutions.

In developing these applications we have created a range of tools to speed our in-house development. Some of these are also available for purchase. WebDev^TM is a client/ server application for creating complex Web sites where a standard look and feel needs to be applied to menus and pages, where databases are to be integrated with Web pages and where large numbers of images need to be integrated. In other words, a typical museum application. Users around the world are already building diverse Websites with WebDev^TM 1.0 (available for download in a try- before-you-buy version). The next major release (in November 1998) will include wizards to simplify further building applications such as virtual museums and mail-order catalogues.

The kiosk version of TAMH was built with another DMC tool, MusDev, designed to transform databases of collection management data and associated images into exciting interactive applications. In addition to using this on custom-development projects, we will be looking for joint venture developments with museum and galleries in 1998.
