AXAEM

Axaem is a records life-cycle management system that assists records managers and archivists in their day-to-day work. It produces retention schedules, allows new schedules to be submitted over the web, tracks records officers and their training sessions, and links retention lengths to records center boxes for disposition. It manages microfilm accessioning and associated camera and scanner equipment. It also produces finding aids and catalog records, offers metadata ingest and index searching, identifies the context of records and the functions that produced them, manages preservation activities for all types of record formats, and provides control over patron services and requests. It is compliant with MARC, EAD, EAC, DACS, and OAI-PMH. It operates on the APPX environment, which means you can change any aspect of any feature. The entire system is programmable, allowing the addition of new fields, screens, and reports at will. It is database and platform independent, and budget friendly open-source to work in your existing environments. AXAEM was originally designed for use by a major State Archives. It is now being revised and enhanced and is planned for release in Spring 2012 as an Open Source application suitable for use by a variety of archives that need to manage physical and electronic records and collections.
