Archive Solutions

SomCom has developed a unique search engine that allows publishers and societies to produce electronic archives with
full-text searching and the ability to carry out high-level search requests without major rekeying or tagging, making it the most cost-effective solution for full-text searching available. This solution can either be housed on the Internet, CD-ROM or both!

In April 2003 Learned Publishing, the journal of ALPSP, published an article that describes how SomCOm utilised its expertise and innovative in-house software to provide the British Academy with an affordable, fully searchable solution to the electronic archiving of the Proceedings of the British Academy.
