To TBLC iBorrow & Alleycat Users,

 

I am pleased to inform you that the folks at SirsiDynix have informed us
that they are committed to the ongoing development and support of URSA.
We are now sufficiently comfortable with the product and SirsiDynix's
commitment to advise the libraries that have been waiting for this
notification that we are ready to complete staff training, a last round
of testing, and bring them up. 

 

On July 30 I met with SirsiDynix CEO Gary Rautenstrauch, Chief
Technology Officer Talin Bingham, and Vice President for Market
Development, Eric Keith in Provo and was informed of this commitment and
then received word in writing on August 14.  We are also seeing positive
signs on the product support side that the company means what it says.

 

We will be directly contacting the libraries that have been waiting
since July and are urging SirsiDynix and the ILS vendors whose products
do not yet work with URSA to please complete their configuration and
testing so that we can migrate the rest of the Alleycat users to iBorrow
and add new libraries!

 

Thanks!

 

Charlie Parker -

Good news.  Looks like this road will get us to Rome after all.
