Collections management software doesn't get any easier or more intuitive than iO (pronounced i,o). iO replaces the traditional "flipping through index cards" interface with a web-like interface, resulting in a greatly reduced learning curve that makes the software easier to operate than other packages and opens up its use to a wide range of museum staff outside of collection specialists. iO is perfect for institutions just beginning their automation efforts, as well as those who have outgrown less sophisticated systems. It is available in both single- and multi-user versions.
