Open Repository is conceived as a solution for any institution that does not have the staff or technical resources to run a state of the art repository. Accelerating scientific progress through Open Access to scientific publications and addressing digital preservation needs for digital assets are just two of the major areas where Open Repository excels.
The platform is set up, operated, and maintained by Atmire, so no technical staff from your end is required. When you have a technical or functional question regarding the platform, Atmire's dedicated Open Repository team will support you. This means as an Open Repository owner, you only have to worry about what matters: your content. Everything else is taken care of by Atmire.
Atmire acquired Open Repository from Open Access publisher BioMed Central in 2016. Atmire is the leading DSpace repository services company, headquartered in Belgium-EU, and the USA. Currently Atmire is serving over 200 institutions in 43 countries with repository services.
