Little Elm Public Library Goes Live on Koha with ByWater Solutions

ByWater Solutions, an open source community supporter and the U.S.’ forefront provider of Koha (www.koha-community.org) support, announced today that Little Elm Public Library in Little Elm, TX. is now live on their installation of the Koha integrated library system.

ByWater Solutions completed the migration for Little Elm Public Library in September and will be providing ongoing Koha support and hosting services for them.

Spencer Smith, Director, commented on their experience with migrating to, going live on and using Koha:

“ByWater Solutions has been everything you could ask for in a vendor. From the initial meeting through the migration everything has gone as smoothly as possible. We even went live a full day or two early! We are so happy with the level of service and the quality of the product. If you’re not already using Koha – we highly recommend you talk with ByWater Solutions about changing that!”

Brendan Gallagher, CEO of ByWater, commented on the Little Elm Public Library’s decision to partner with them:

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with Spencer and the staff and patrons of the Little Elm Public Library. We look forward to supplying the high levels of service and support throughout the long and productive relationship we have just begun. Thank you for joining the thousands of libraries worldwide using Koha, and for choosing ByWater to meet your support and implementation needs!”
