January 15, 2014 -- Emeryville, CA. Innovative announced today that Thompson-Nicola Regional District Library System in British Columbia, Canada has selected the Sierra Services Platform and the Decision Center collection management tool for a complete library solution. They are migrating from an Evergreen system.

"Sierra incorporates everything we want into one system," says Marc Saunders, Director of Libraries at Thompson-Nicola. "Beyond the robust acquisitions, cataloguing, and circulation modules, there are extra features like the patron suggestion tool, a library events calendar and booking module, as well as a sophisticated reporting tool for librarians and administrators. We are most keen to use Decision Center to ensure we are getting the best value per dollar from our collections. Budget monies always need to be maximized and we look forward to the insights the system will provide."

Additionally, Saunders states, "We've realized that when a library can perform all of its tasks in a single system, it saves time and money. We look forward to our future with Sierra. It's a win/win."

"As we enter 2014, Innovative continues to prioritize our commitment to global markets and our growing customer base of Canadian libraries," says Christopher Le Blanc, SVP of Global Sales. "With their selection of the combination of Sierra and Decision Center, Thompson-Nicola has a powerful platform to not only provide seamless, comprehensive services to their patrons, but also give their staff integrated tools for maximizing library operations."
