DERS company

DERS company was founded 1999.

OBD (Personal Bibliographic Database) was first aplication for register of publication activities.

VERSO – own developped framework platform, to allow OBD comunicate in multiplatform database environment

There were researchers at the begining...

OBD aplication at the begining was personal bibliographic database for researchers. They used it as register for their own publications.

... later whole institutions

When personal results had to be sent to central register, OBD was extended with functions to administer and export records to RIV (Results of R&D central register)Later whole institutions started to use this software not only to send data to RIV (R&D IS), but for complete registering of bibliographic activities of their internal workers also.

Today...Recent version of OBD system was changed from personal register to institutional use.

Now it is thin client web aplication with access control. A lot of parts could be customised by user itselves. There are a lot of adminstration functions with posibility to export data to R&D IS.

Aplication is updated periodicaly to meet new requirements.
