1Project plan
GMS has been involved from day one with Metamorfoze and has a lot of experience in the execution of these projects. As a result, GMS knows all that is required to achieve the Metamorfoze level of quality. GMS drafts a complete project plan describing every step to be followed. This project plan is very detailed.
We also describe the interplay between you as a client, the Dutch Royal Library and GMS, as well as when there will be deliveries to the Dutch Royal Library and what your and our role will be.
2Inventory and intake
GMS lists the material and determines the requirements and wishes stipulated by Metamorfoze. GMS understands the client's expectations. The material will be cleared [for scanning] after consultation with and approval of, the client.
3Execution of Metamorfoze
Depending on the material, we digitize it as described in the project plan. GMS developed a separate verification process specially tailored for Metamorfoze. 1:1 checks, daily targets, test batches, and other items are described in detail by the verification process. This ensures the proper execution of the Metamorfoze project.
4Digital files
GMS processes the material based on the type of material. During this processing, the indexing and structuring of files will be very carefully monitored. Upon completion and in consultation with the client, GMS returns the materials together with the digital files.
