openEQUELLA is a content-centric digital repository designed to unify your education ecosystem acting as a "single source of truth" for all teaching, learning, research, media and library content. It provides the essential control, access, and flexibility needed to liberate content from silos and maximize its reuse across your institution.
openEQUELLA is a robust, highly configurable digital content repository designed to sit centrally within the higher education technology stack. Unlike course-centric Learning Management Systems (LMS), openEQUELLA adopts a content-centric approach, focusing on the full lifecycle management of digital assets - from creation and editing to new versioning and archiving. This allows institutions to liberate content from siloed LMS courses and departmental drives, ensuring resources are accessible, able to be repurposed, and easily shared institution-wide. The platform is deployed globally for essential functions, including copyright resource collections, research material management, integrated multimedia libraries, and institutional policy governance. Key functionalities include advanced metadata and taxonomy support for enhanced discoverability, powerful workflow engines for quality assurance and compliance, and comprehensive access controls. openEQUELLA's seamless LMS integration (via LTI) and rich APIs ensure interoperability with your existing systems, enabling you to deliver master, controlled content directly to the point of learning. This solution helps institutions streamline operations, maintain compliance, and make existing digital assets a valuable, reusable strategic investment, ultimately supporting faculty efficiency and improving the student learning experience.

Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts toward the 5,000 user limit in one oEQ Institution unit?
Each user account that accesses the hosted repository counts toward the 5,000 included users. openEQUELLA supports multiple schools, departments, or campuses within one institution, so accounts across all your locations count together against this single limit.
What happens if we exceed 5,000 users or 300GB of storage?
The unit includes up to 5,000 users and 300GB of storage. To go beyond these amounts, you contact the vendor for a private or custom offer. openEQUELLA has no physical user cap, and cloud storage is expandable through Edalex hosting.
What does the hosted service include beyond the software licence?
Edalex hosts a managed openEQUELLA instance on Amazon Web Services in a clustered, high-availability environment for a fixed monthly price. This includes redundancy points to maintain availability. Professional services like strategic planning, implementation, and content migration are arranged separately with the vendor.
