Re: [IUG] Questions about Serials Solutions vs. III ERM's

["Hoyte, Daniel" <hoyte at chapman dot edu>]

Although we did not choose Serials Solutions or III, for us it came down
to several issues:
Cost -- We could not afford either product
Local control -- III came out much better for this, but lost us on cost.
Perceived ease of use -- Our testers agreed that neither product
provided an interface, in particular public, that matched the skill set
of our current and near-term users.

Ok ....  we have seen the demos... and we have the pricing now tell me
why so many Innovative Libraries continue to migrate to Serials
Solutions instead of using products from Innovative?
