ByWater Solutions Celebrates Fifteenth Anniversary

by Elise Aiello on Mar 19, 2024

This month, we are celebrating our 15th Year Anniversary and we couldn't have done it without you! We are so thankful for the memories, friends, and knowledge we have gained along the way. On behalf of all of us at ByWater Solutions, thank you for letting us serve you for fifteen amazing years!

Brendan Gallagher, CEO of ByWater Solutions, recently commented on the anniversary:

15 years!! This has been one of the greatest adventures of creating change in the library world and helping support libraries' needs in supporting their users. Nate has been an awesome business partner in this adventure and I know no one else that is as dedicated to helping libraries succeed with their use of Open Source. We are really looking forward to the next 15 years and continuing to be a leader for the Open Source Library World."

Nathan Curulla, CRO at ByWater Solutions, also commented:

It is hard to believe how fast the past 15 years have gone by. They said starting a business with your childhood best friend was a mistake but I believe it is one of the big reasons for our successes very early on. Our dedicated staff of librarians and technologists are the reason for our ongoing successes and their hard work has made ByWater what it is today. Under Brendan’s leadership we have created disruption in a marketplace that needed some shaking up and we are constantly learning about how to improve our services, learn from our mistakes, and make more of an impact for the benefit of libraries each day. We cannot wait to see what the next 15 years brings!"
