ProV Database is an advanced and comprehensive discovery resource management platform tailored for academic institutions, ministry libraries, and commercial libraries. It enables the creation of a fully customizable and dedicated database for managing a wide range of digital resources supporting various electronic formats. ProV Database serves as a single discovery resource for a curated digital resource content system — either for archiving long-term storage to preserve digital content or for publishing live electronic content. Academic institutions can create their own ProV Database to store digital resources, including theses, final year projects, archives, examination papers, conference proceedings, and research datasets.

ProV Database allows libraries to build their own repository management system for electronic content, enabling member access for reading. To ensure secure access, the platform is equipped with a proprietary Digital Rights Management (DRM) system that enables flexible content viewing. Uploaded digital content can be viewed onboard through integrated readers while restricting downloads, search visibility, or even allowing open access with DRM-free materials. Institutions can also self-index open-access titles’ metadata for unified search in a centralized discovery interface.

ProV Database supports seamless integration with leading academic content providers including Wiley, World Scientific, Kogan Pages, McGraw Hill, and more — giving users unified access to a wide array of scholarly materials. DRM-protected content rights are enforced at respective platforms via backend single-sign-on integration, aligned with copyright terms. The platform supports multiple content formats such as PDF and EPUB to accommodate diverse reading preferences.

To enhance user experience and secure access, ProV Database supports Single Sign-On (SSO) via standards such as SAML 2.0, LDAP, and Active Directory, allowing seamless authentication across institutional systems.

Built for scalability, ProV Database includes a powerful analytics and reporting engine that captures user interactions, generates detailed usage reports, and provides actionable insights. These insights assist libraries and academic administrators in making informed, data-driven decisions.

Looking ahead, ProV Database is being enhanced with AI capabilities such as intelligent search and discovery, resource recommendations, and usage pattern analysis — evolving into a smart digital library platform ready to meet the dynamic demands of modern academia.
