## Qi Reviews
  ### 1. Customized System Architecture

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**What do you like best about Qi?**

Qi is very customizable: KT continues to work closely with us to structure our system according to our specific use cases and priorities.  They welcome ideas for improvements and added functionality, and they often suggest even better solutions for us.  They are smart,responsive, accommodating, creative, reliable and fun to work with.

**What do you dislike about Qi?**

Search in Qi does not function like Google: the search results that are returned, and the order in which the results are displayed are sometimes perplexing.
At first, tracking budget and time spent wasn't well-communicated, but together we came up with a satisfactory solution and it's no longer a problem.

**What problems is Qi solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Qi to track all types of data about our museum collections, and the relationships between different types of data: we currently record data about artwork, artists, museum locations, packaging materials, exhibitions, exhibition locations, bibliographic data and etc, and we continue to add data fields and data types as more people within the organization start using Qi to centrally track their work.
Using APIs and autotasks, we have automated data transfer from Qi to our digital asset management system and to our website.  We are now able to store artwork data in Qi, artwork images in our DAMS (NetX), and synchronize the systems so that the DAMS pulls artwork data to display along with images of the artwork, and Qi pulls thumbnails of the images in our DAMS to display along with the artwork records. Everything can now be stored in a centralized  system which is optimized to track and manage it (data in Qi CMS, image files in DAMS).  So you can see the artwork images and the data about the artwork in either system, even as the data and media files "live" in different systems.  In addition, our website now pulls data about artwork from Qi, and it pulls high-resolution images directly from the DAMS and displays both on a single page online. Museum-wide, our data is increasingly becoming centrally available to everyone as more people in different roles become comfortable using Qi regularly.
