Starter Repository Setup
Best for small departments or pilot deployments.
- Institution setup
- Core metadata
- Upload workflow
- Basic training
- Public search
Launch the repository in structured phases.
Start with setup and access rules, then move into upload, review, training and reporting.
Full Institutional Repository
Best for higher institutions launching a central academic repository.
- Faculties and departments
- Programmes and user roles
- Bulk upload
- Review workflow
- Access rules and reporting
Multi-Institution Platform
Best for groups managing repositories across multiple schools or campuses.
- Institution portals
- Shared controls
- Separate dashboards
- Controlled visibility
- Platform reporting
Custom Enterprise Deployment
Best for institutions with special integrations, data migration or governance requirements.
- Custom workflows
- Integrations
- Migration scripts
- Advanced reporting
- Training and support model
Typical planning ranges, not fixed commitments — final implementation timing depends on migration volume, deployment model, and institutional approvals, and is confirmed in your proposal.
Rollout roadmap
Typical rollout steps.
A clean implementation path that keeps repository setup controlled, measurable and easy for non-technical teams to follow.
Discovery and requirements
Confirm institution goals, user roles, existing repositories, file locations, compliance needs and rollout scope.
Institution structure setup
Create faculties, departments, programmes, institution domains, staff roles and dashboard access boundaries.
Metadata and access policy
Define document-type forms, required metadata, visibility rules, embargo options and verification requirements.
Upload/import
Start controlled uploads through forms, submission links, bulk import or DSpace-style migration workflows.
Review workflow setup
Configure similarity checks, metadata review, correction requests, approvals, receipts and publication rules.
Staff training
Train librarians, focal persons, admins, reviewers and support staff with simple operating guides.
Launch and reporting
Open the repository, monitor adoption, track compliance, export reports and improve the workflow from real usage.
Deployment readiness
Check the essentials before launch.
Confirm ownership, access policy, metadata structure, review stages, support contacts and public discovery before going live.
