D'Youville has selected the LibLime – PTFS fully-managed Koha package. In this model, the system is installed, operated and maintained at one of LibLime – PTFS carrier-class data centers. LibLime – PTFS provided D'Youville with installation, data migration, systems configuration, software development and staff training.
