Hosting Digital Resources & Integrated Curation Workflows
Sobek Digital performs a variety of consulting services for our customers. This includes strategic and technical planning, assistance with a local installation, and custom design and development. We will also make house-calls if you need some hands-on assistance or local training for your staff.
SobekCM is released as open source and we continually strive to improve the code for all of our users. Due to this, we generally release custom SobekCM development as open source, especially if we will be hosting the modified library for a hosted user. If this will not work for your solution or market, please contact us and we can discuss this on a case-by-case basis.
Our consulting rates are very competitive. Generally, they are pre-purchased by the hour and are non-refundable if not utilized within a twelve month period. Please call us to discuss your particular needs.
Our consulting services can be broken down into three basic categories, composed of two standard packages and a more general custom development package. These standard packages are detailed below.
Sometimes institutions want to host the material themselves, or are bound legally to host their own material. We can still help by installing and managing your instance of SobekCM remotely for you. During this process, we will provide custom development, free upgrades, and monthly health checks on the system.
