Information. Business. Technology.
Clear strategy and working digital infrastructure.
Xentropics® is a small consulting and engineering firm for organisations that work with complex information, collections, datasets and systems.
What we do
We work mainly in museums, libraries, archives, heritage and the performing arts, with a strong overlap into higher education and public administration.
Depending on the assignment, that can mean a digital strategy, an information architecture, a system selection, a linked data model, an Omeka S platform, a data pipeline, a cloud migration plan or a working proof of concept.
The common thread is pragmatic translation: from policy to architecture, from architecture to implementation, and from implementation to maintainable services.
