Content existed across institutional silos, with inconsistent metadata practice and limited clarity on phased publication priorities.
The engagement combined repository structure planning, metadata alignment, role definition, and staff-facing workflow recommendations for consistent ingestion and access.
The institution received a practical repository roadmap with stronger metadata discipline and a clearer path for sustainable digital access.
“The consultancy helped us think beyond software installation and focus on sustained repository practice.”
