[IRTalk] Cloud hosting of open access services, using open source software

[Michael Guthrie]

Dear Ina and List

I have been enjoying receiving your list posts and when I saw this one, I
thought I would take the opportunity to introduce our organisation, which
provides managed DSpace hosting for institutions such as universities and
NGOs.

We also provide DSpace customisation and integration as well as Omeka, OJS,
and Learning Managment System Hosting whihc can be integrated with the
repositories to act as a leanring object repository.

Specialising in Education Technologies, our company mission is to make
these services affordable for developing countries:

We have worked with the WHO, Institute of Development Studies, EIFL,
universities in Norway, Myanmar, UK, Ghana, Australia, among others.

We would welcome an opportunity to discuss memebers' projects.

Kind regards,

Michael
