VTLS announces "No Roaming" option!

Blacksburg, VA - VTLS introduced a program today that is designed to help selected libraries across North America. The program, called "No Roaming," will help libraries stay on the leading edge of technology by providing a free license to the Virtua ILS system if the library agrees to sign a three-year maintenance agreement*. In addition, the first five libraries that sign agreements will be eligible for a 50 percent discount on the industry-leading VITAL digital repository product. The offer is limited to North American libraries running products for which their vendor has announced the end-of-life.

"We're very concerned when we see a large number of libraries feeling that they are boxed in," said Vinod Chachra, CEO of VTLS. "Not all roads lead to that result. They have options, and they don't need to roam far to find that Virtua is a thoroughly modern ILS, using Oracle and featuring full functionality that will help their library to stay on the cutting edge of technology. Most importantly, unlike some open source or proprietary options that clearly won't be built in a day, Virtua is available today as a solid and functionally complete solution."

VTLS is a privately-owned company, with consistent ownership over the last twenty years. Decisions made by the company are based on customer needs without the pressure to meet short-term, outside-investor established goals. Virtua is in use in over 900 libraries in 35 countries around the world. VTLS is a service-oriented company and consistently scores high on the number of customer service representatives to customer ratios. VTLS is also one of the few ISO 9001:2000 quality certified companies within the library industry.

Look for announcements of Web-based and regional demonstrations of the product on the company website.

*Full details of the offer can be found on the VTLS website at ( www.vtls.com/noroam ) or by calling 1-800-468-8857 and asking for a Sales Representative.
