Your roadmap to TMS Collections
Gallery Systems has been transitioning to a web-based platform to provide modern, state-of-the-art technology to address current and future collections management needs. Web-based software provides a wide range of benefits, including use with Mac and Windows computers, as well as tablets, and the ability to access your data from anywhere with no need to install applications on desktop computers.
Transition to a web-based platform
The TMS Suite web platform has been in development for several years, with products in continuous use at institutions since 2014.
TMS Collections was first released in 2018 and included modules for Objects, Constituents, Media, Exhibitions, Loans, Bibliography, and Sites. The next version of TMS Collections was released in March 2020 and added modules for Events, Shipping, and Insurance. Throughout 2020, any remaining features were added to TMS Collections to achieve parity with TMS for Windows.
Conservation Studio, Media Studio, eMuseum, and Audit Manager work with both TMS for Windows and TMS Collections. Gallery Systems anticipates a long transition period during which both TMS for Windows and TMS Collections will be supported in parallel.
TMS for Windows roadmap
Upgrading to TMS Collections is optional and should be done at the right time for your institution. Gallery Systems will continue to enhance and support TMS for Windows long into the future. We are committed to protecting your investment and providing you with the best product for your needs.
TMS 2021 is the most current release. New releases for TMS will follow a 12-18 month cycle with service packs as needed. Future releases will consist of new features and enhancements, bug fixes, and maintaining compatibility with new versions of Windows, SQL Server.
