Description
Implementing an institutional repository can be challenging for research institutions with limited resources or modest technical capacity. To address this need, 4Science, a DSpace Platinum Service Provider, developed DSpaceWay, a software as a service (SaaS) solution that delivers a fully managed, secure, and turnkey DSpace environment hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Designed for institutions seeking a cost-effective, yet standards-compliant, solution, DSpaceWay provides immediate and sustainable access to the global DSpace ecosystem without the burden of infrastructure management, upgrades, or complex metadata configuration.
Delivered under ISO 27001 certified management processes, DSpaceWay ensures data protection, reliability, and scalability in line with best practices for research data management. It includes the latest DSpace enhancements, such as an intuitive user interface, comprehensive usage statistics, and native IIIF support for high-quality image visualization. DSpaceWay also offers seamless extensions toward CRIS and GLAM implementations, enabling institutions to expand their repository capabilities as their needs evolve. The proposed talk will demonstrate how, by simplifying deployment while preserving openness and flexibility, DSpaceWay empowers research organizations of any size or budget to focus on sharing and amplifying the impact of their scholarly outputs.
