The Canadian Museum of Nature (CMN) has a requirement to upgrade its current collection management system, Mimsy XG, to a system more suitable for natural history museum collections, EMu by KE Software.

The data migration phase of the contract will last approximately 12 months, and licensing will be perpetual until terminated.
You are hereby notified that the Canadian Museum of Nature intends to award a contract with the firm identified above.
