SirsiDynix: Solutions: Software as a Service (SaaS)

SirsiDynix Solutions: Hosted & Security

Libraries are constantly challenged in their business today. Challenged to stay up-to-date with technology, manage staff training, retain highly qualified technical staff, manage vendor and sub-contractor relationships, manage their core systems, deal with upgrades and feature releases, and purchase, implement, and maintain evermore complex systems.

SirsiDynix has a solution to relieve these strains and meet these challenges: SirsiDynix SaaS, a comprehensive software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that provides end-to-end managed care for all types and sizes of libraries. SirsiDynix SaaS includes everything you need to provide your users with the latest library services they require:
