Innovative Announces Sierra Service Platform Development

At the 2011 Innovative Users Group Conference in April, Innovative Interfaces announced a new strategic ILS direction for the company and development of the Sierra Services Platform. Sierra development will include open access to key workflow and data through familiar open-source tools. Sierra is built on a foundation of integrated resource management and offers enhanced e-resource/e-book support. Libraries will be able to choose from Innovative-developed products, write their own custom applications, or share software among other Sierra libraries. Options for deployment include private-cloud and locally sited implementations. Sierra’s beta launch is scheduled for late 2011.
