Sasaki Associates Chooses ByWater Solutions’ Koha Support
ByWater Solutions, an open source community contributor and America’s forefront provider of Koha support, announced today that Sasaki Associates of Boston, MA is now live on their installation of the Koha integrated library system.
ByWater Solutions completed the migration for Sasaki last year and will be providing ongoing Koha support and hosting services to them. Their custom OPAC can be viewed at http://sasaki.bywatersolutions.com
Deirdre Doran, Sasaki Associates, spoke of the move to Koha:
“Moving from a proprietary database to a fully functioning, open source ILS has brought the Sasaki Library into the 21st century. The ability to customize Koha to the unique needs of our small corporate library and archives has brought ease of access and use to a new level. ByWater Solutions was instrumental in facilitating this transition: handling the migration of our data, providing excellent training on the Koha software, and answering the million question I had about system setup and use. I really could not have done it with them! I couldn’t be happier with the level of service ByWater provides, the functionality of Koha, or the user experience of this ILS.”
