[SWANcom] *Extended* SWAN Self-Check Software Group Purchase

Good news, everyone - Thanks to the many libraries that have already submitted their purchase commitments, we've now established the minimum number of libraries necessary for the group discount! This is terrific news, not only because we're now guaranteed the discounted purchase price of $2500 per library, but because we can also extend our purchase commitment period into the month of December for any libraries needing a little extra time to coordinate. If you're still on the fence about joining the EnvisionWare One-Stop 2.0 group purchase, please let me know so that we can discuss the details further. If you're currently running Millennium Express Lane in your library and have not committed to join in on the purchase, please note that this will be SWAN's only offering as a replacement self-check for the Express Lane software. When we migrate to the SirsiDynix ILS in April of 2015, the Millennium Express Lane software will no longer function. And while our libraries are certainly welcome to pursue alternative vendors for a replacement outside of this group purchase, SWAN will only be coordinating the group/discounted purchase with EnvisionWare at this time. Thanks again to all of the libraries that are currently participating. We'll begin coordinating your invoices and installations as early as next week, based on the date you selected in your commitment form.

This software can be used to replace an existing Innovative Express Lane installation prior to our SirsiDynix migration, OR, if your library does not currently have any self-check software or if you're thinking about upgrading from your current configuration, this is a terrific opportunity to join in on the significantly discounted pricing. We already have a handful of libraries participating, but as more libraries join in, we will see even greater discounts for the entire group. Please contact me directly if you would like additional information about the group purchase or if you're interested in participating. We're looking to collect responses from interested libraries by early November so that we can roll out the software as soon as possible.
