Over 30 years ago, we set out to support librarians who had need of our skills to help them transform library operations from card catalogs to networked systems.
We were one of the first to bring an ILS (integrated library system) to market and the first to offer the CDROM containing the Library of Congress bibliographic data to the UK market.
We implemented our first PC network system in 1987 and delivered our first web database in 1996. The history we can recount puts the company in the position of knowing our roots and where our focus is and should be.
Knowing our past and seeing the changes we have helped hundreds of clients introduce gives us perspective and a grounding that few others in the market can claim. Having such a strong history gives us the strength to look to the future with ever greater passion to serve.
