Blacksburg, VA – Just when everyone thought that there was no market for new ILS customers, VTLS has seen a surge of demand for its ILS, Virtua. Last quarter ten new customers in Europe (France and Greece), the Middle East (UAE) and Asia (India and Malaysia) joined the ranks of Virtua users worldwide.
"We are delighted with the number of libraries actively considering and selecting Virtua as their new ILS. The response we are receiving for Release 48 of Virtua from new customers is quite remarkable," said Vinod Chachra, President and CEO of VTLS Inc. "We believe that this surge in demand is a result of the new organization at VTLS which is more solutions oriented. We expect this demand to continue into 2008."
