Silverchair and the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) recently announced the launch of the new AMPP (content) Store on the Silverchair platform.

The new site serves as a repository for AMPP's vast range of content, including primary research, use cases, industry standards, and technical and professional publications.

AMPP is the world’s leading organization dedicated to protecting assets and performance materials through member and workforce education and credentialing, company accreditation, technological innovation, and global standardization.

As part of their broader organizational transformation initiative around digital unification, AMPP sought to create a digital library that brings together their wide array of content. This includes over 900 standards, their flagship journal CORROSION, Materials Performance (MP) Magazine, CoatingsPro Magazine, 52 books, and more than 22,000 conference papers.

The digital library leverages Silverchair's scalable, responsive technology to provide access to a wealth of materials for AMPP’s growing, global audience of scholars, professionals, and craftsmen.

“Our partnership with AMPP has continued to symbolize thealignment of our missions and shared organizational ethos,” says Will Schweitzer, CEO of Silverchair. “We are honored to support the AMPP team indelivering on their ambitious plans for the important resources they publish.Their new unified platform will not only help AMPP reach a broader audience, but also provide their team with the tools and services to assemble varied content sets into the next generation of knowledge products.”

The process began when member leadership asked for aunified, searchable body of knowledge, according to Mandy May, AMPP’s directorof content management.

“Our content types are varied—from standards to magazinearticles to even some physical products,” May says. “While many efforts like this start with a lofty goal, it is not often that all content remains inscope. Silverchair worked tirelessly to host/make discoverable all content from the original scope incorporating an exhaustive AMPP-specific taxonomy—all while we simultaneously implemented a new association management system. Thank you, Silverchair team, for being the ultimate partners.”
