Challenges in Art & Culture
Cultural institutions face unique digital challenges that require specialised solutions, supported by custom art & culture software development.
Outdated Archive Systems
Legacy systems make it difficult to manage, preserve and access digital and physical collections efficiently.
Visitor Engagement
Audiences expect richer, more interactive digital experiences across websites, exhibitions and mobile platforms.
Event Management Complexity
Managing exhibitions, events and ticketing often involves disconnected tools and manual processes.
Data & Insights Gaps
Limited visibility into visitor data makes it harder to measure engagement and improve experiences.
Collections Accessibility
Making collections accessible online while maintaining data integrity and rights management is a constant challenge.
Resource Constraints
Many institutions operate with limited budgets and internal technical resources.

CultureConnect
Culture Connect is a software platform that helps art institutions build digital interactive experiences. Looking to power-up the development of the core product, they engaged with Codex. This helped to implement architectural and holistic product improvements, add new features, and led to a successful acquisition deal with Axiell.
Outcome: Improved system performance to increase visitor engagement and modernise user experience

Axiell
We partnered with one of the world’s largest providers of software solutions for cultural and educational institutions after the closure of the deal between Axiell and Culture Connect. Still remaining the primary developers of Culture Connect’s core product, Codex also helps to build, improve and extend the range of Axiell’s software solutions.
