Many of these questions are difficult to answer for us, as we are largely self-supported on Evergreen using open-source. We do not have a vendor except for a small local vendor to help with operating system issues. We do not have an annual maintenance contract. Open-source was obviously challenging to implement, but as time has passed, it has really been good to us in terms of being in control of our own maintenance, development, bug-fixing, operating stability...it just works. Obviously, it is not a path for everyone. We do not currently have plans to change. (Library type: Public; collection size: very large; ils satisfaction: 9)
