Andornot Consulting

What Andornot Consulting does

Andornot Consulting Inc. is a small, privately held Canadian information-management consulting firm headquartered at 1700 – 808 Nelson Street in Vancouver, British Columbia, founded in 1995. The company combines practicing librarians with software developers to help libraries, archives, museums, healthcare authorities, law libraries, education bodies, and municipal governments organize, manage, search, and digitize their information collections. It operates across North America with a Canadian data centre used to host both its own and third-party applications for clients.

The firm's core product is the Andornot Discovery Interface (AnDI), a proprietary web-based search and discovery layer built on Apache Solr, offering relevancy-ranked results, faceted search, spelling correction, synonym expansion, and an OCR-capable Embedded Document Viewer that indexes page-level full text within PDFs and similar documents. Andornot is also the authorized Canadian Value-Added Reseller for Inmagic's DB/TextWorks database, WebPublisher PRO web-publishing module, and Genie integrated library system, and it sells three "Starter Kit" templates for libraries, archives, and museums that preconfigure schemas for MARC, RAD, and ISAD workflows. The technology stack additionally draws on .NET, MS SQL, Python, Java 11, Umbraco, WordPress, and integrations with open-source discovery and archival platforms including VuFind, Omeka, Access to Memory (AtoM), FromThePage, and CORAL ERM.

Andornot generates revenue from four streams: (1) software license and support contracts for Inmagic and AnDI products, (2) recurring managed-hosting subscriptions from its Canadian data centre, (3) project-based professional services covering digitization, OCR processing, and MARC/EAD/XML/CSV data conversion, and (4) bespoke custom development for clients with unique requirements such as the Fraser Health Authority Patient Education Resources system and the Accessible Resource Centre for BC's K-12 curriculum. The firm employs between 1 and 10 people and identifies Peter Tyrrell, Jonathan Jacobsen, and Ted Jardine as its principals.
