Bdsdigital

BDSDigital is a specialist design, interpretation and digital media company based in Dumfries, serving clients across Scotland and North West England.

BDS brings together four companies each renowned for quality of product and service.

Founded in 1995 by Lesley Whyte and Eric Green, Bibliographic Data Services quickly established itself as the foremost supplier of quality metadata to libraries. The company has held the British Library Catalogue in Publication (CIP) Programme contract since 1995, providing consistent core services to the British Library and libraries all over the world for over twenty years.

The purchase of home entertainment data provider, Parafax, web-services company, Ehaus and design studio, Weesleekit enabled BDS to grow its business into the complementary sectors of home entertainment information, web build and maintenance, and design services. Parafax was transformed into West10 Entertainment, providing its metadata not only to the home entertainment sector and libraries, but also to European projects.

In 2016, Bibliographic Data Services took the decision to integrate these diverse identities into one new entity: BDS. BDS: four successful companies working in three sectors combined into a new vision: the complete content, platform and design service. We have taken all that was good in these small, responsive businesses, and added the robustness that comes from a long-established business with a reputation for excellence of service and quality of product.

BDS continues to deliver unparalleled data, secure web services and cutting-edge design that works for large and small organisations alike. Despite our growth over the years, customers remain the focus of all that we do. The versatility that the skills base in our business offers us means that we can deliver customised solutions to our customers that achieve exactly what they want. Our strength is in our integrated approach.
