Migrating to TMS Collections

The Gallery Systems implementation team will work with you to configure TMS Collections to reflect your museum’s data entry requirements and workflows. Managed hosting of TMS Collections can be provided by Gallery Systems, or our technology experts can work with your IT team to provision your servers. In addition, Gallery Systems provides power user and end user training, as well as optional report-verification and other implementation services.

TMS Collections is a free upgrade included as part of your TMS annual maintenance package. There is no charge to you for the software, but there are some setup and training services, as well as fees for Gallery Systems managed hosting or your own IT hardware.

Migration Timeline

The TMS Collections 2020 March release now includes all modules. If your institution uses a very complex instance of TMS, there may be some remain gaps between TMS and TMS Collections, which we are working to complete during 2020. If you think you may be a candidate to migrate to TMS Collections, we will work with you to assess how your use of TMS maps to TMS Collections.

Professional Services

Each institution is different. Depending on the size of the collection and the extent to which you’ve used various features within TMS, you may need more or fewer professional services days for TMS Collections installation, configuration, training, upgrade, or other services. Our standard daily rate is $1900 USD per day.

Managed Hosting

Gallery Systems recommends choosing Managed Hosting to simplify your TMS Collections implementation. Managed Hosting is a cost-effective option that will reduce IT expenses like purchasing new hardware, and decrease the number of days needed for Setup and Configuration. Learn more about Managed Hosting on our System Requirements page.

TMS Suite Compatibility

TMS Collections is integrated with eMuseum, Conservation Studio and Media Studio. If you already use one of these products with TMS, you will be able to use it with TMS Collections without needing additional migration services.

Plan to Upgrade TMS

In order to migrate to TMS Collections, you must be on the newest version of TMS. You can complete the upgrade yourself by downloading the upgrade packages on the Gallery Systems Community, or we can include upgrade services for you as part of the migration project.
