I recently visited new media agency Armadillo Systems – they’ve been working with the Imperial War Museum to give their digital asset management system a facelift and a create a unified system built on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) that means all their digital assets can be managed in one place, quickly and easily, by visitors to the museum. I caught up with Michael Stocking, MD of Armadillo, as well as their developer Steve, who helped build the programme (as well working on the Turning the Pages tool you may have seen already – cool stuff).
I was then bundled into a taxi and taken to the Imperial War Museum to see the system in person – and visit the Head of ICT, Ian Crawford, in the depths of the building to find out about why he wanted to use a Windows 7 based system and what his plans are for the future.
