		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve just recently passed our one year anniversary following our first libraries&#8217; migration to Evergreen, and now 3 months past the last of our libraries to migrate.  Our operating environment is a mid-to-large size government department, with an above average technical literacy amongst our clients. We have some serious requirements for interacting with the ILS [...]]]></description>

But not being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It can happen to any vendor, but this kind of upgrade trouble can&#8217;t be too much fun for both the library and SirsiDynix. The 4 day downtime at the Ottawa Public Public Library even elicited talk from a city councilor to seek compensation from SirsiDynix.
I know that in late 2009 the city approved upgrading from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very interesting developments in the Koha community, with lots of discussion brewing since Liblime announced its enterprise version last week. Lots of concerns about forks (read also atz&#8217;s comments), and a public response from Liblime&#8217;s CEO &#8211; it&#8217;s worth following that thread.
Not being a Koha user,  I don&#8217;t have much of an immediate stake [...]]]></description>

Evergreen is one several open source systems on the marketplace, and was selected on the basis of functional requirements but with serious consideration given to several important marketplace trends:

Most proprietary software at least gives you some illusion of ownership and control by letting you run the software for years after you paid [...]]]></description>

It has been clear for many years now that developments towards &#8220;One Big Library&#8221; were going to radically change workflows and strategies for library automation. The promise of the network, the insane ease and [...]]]></description>
