ByWater Solutions, America’s forefront provider of Open Source library technology support, announced today that Warner University in Lake Wales, Florida is now live on FOLIO!

ByWater completed the transition of the library's 61,000 plus holdings from OCLC WMS this summer and is providing ongoing support services to the library. As part of their partnership with ByWater, EBSCO Information Services will be providing hosting services along with complimentary products to ensure a complete and well managed FOLIO instance.

Nate Curulla, CRO of ByWater Solutions, recently commented on the migration.

We are so excited to be part of the FOLIO Open Source Community and lead the migration for Warner University! The ByWater Solutions FOLIO team worked hard to ensure a smooth transition for the staff at Warner University and we can't wait to see how the community grows!
