Looking at Archivists’Toolkit and other Collections Management stuff

I’ve been poking around in the public beta sandbox of Archivists’Toolkit in the past month or two,and I’ve found a lot to like there. While I don’t have a local instance installed with our data just yet,I think I/we may take the leap towards further testing on a dedicated server soon. So far,I’m the only one playing with this,but we’ve initiated the hiring process for some actual IT support (fingers crossed). I’ve only glanced at Archon and ICA-AtoM so far,but I haven’t been as impressed. I’m thinking about trying out a trial version of Past Perfect this week,and I’m also trying to look at less-discussed software like Re:discovery’s Proficio. Any insights would be useful! I’d like to find something that integrates accessions,donor letters and files,catalog records,processed/unprocessed collection lists,provenance and condition reports,and other stuff,and especially allows export of finding aids in XML/EAD.
