Canto Information Ltd is a consultancy specialising in the design and implementation of information management systems. We have a particular interest in biological data and have been active in developing the Glasgow LBRC in Recorder 3.3 - and intend to continue this on the Recorder 2000 platform.
In addition to Recorder 6 sales and support, we offer further support, training courses, assistance with importing data from other systems, help with customising individual installations and links with other systems.

We have links through BRISC with many of the naturalists and record centres in Scotland, but would be interested in enquiries from any part of the British Isles and Ireland.

I run an independent consultancy in the ecological sector which distributes and supports Recorder 2002 and Recorder 6. The services I offer include training in the use of the systems, general support and transferring data from Recorder 3.3. I specialise in helping users improve their use of the system and I have worked extensively with local records centres and other Recorder users since Recorder 2000 was first released in August 2000. I also use Recorder for local species recording. I will be pleased to offer support and guidance to anyone with an interest in facilitating the processing and exchange of biological data.
