This document outlines the IT strategic plan of the MAE Documentation Centre and Museum of Performing Arts from 2008-2013. The plan aimed to modernize the center's technology by moving from various disconnected databases and folders to a single, open source system for managing and disseminating its collections online. By 2013, the center had implemented the Hydra Project to create a new unified data model and system called "Escena Digital" for describing, preserving, and sharing its archive and museum holdings digitally. The new system allows for more efficient management and growth of the center's digital collections.
