Quality Management Consultancy

Quality Management is an important part of any large software project. We were asked by Radio Berlin (RBB) to contribute to the Quality Management of a large EU project they are leading called DISMARC.

As well as producing an original document for internal use and submission to the EU, we met with other technical partners (including AIT in Austria) and advised the project leaders.

DISMARC

DISMARC (Discovering Music Archives) is a European Union project that aggregates the catalogues of Europes sound archives.

We were asked by the project leaders (RBB) to design and implement the web browser user interface in collaboration with themselves. We involved a design partner Heldish, together with Berlin photographer Andi Zant and produced an original design which reflects the archive atmosphere. In fact, the elements were all photographed in one of the participating archives. Thanks to the Dahlem Ethnological Museum.

We produced HTML and CSS and implemented the designs in Smarty templates (PHP) in collaboration with AIT in Austria.
