[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] King County plans--clarification?

[Bill Hudson]

Greetings all,
We recently had a visit by one of the senior executives of our current ILS vendor. We've made it quite clear to them that we are closely following the development of the Evergreen system and can definitely envision joining an effort to deploy Evergreen statewide in PA.

During the conversation, the exec said that King County plans to run their current ILS (Millennium) in tandem with the Evergreen system they are bringing online in September, AND that it was not a given that King County would deploy Evergreen as their sole ILS in the near term. I wasn't sure if this was FUD or if King County is (contrary to what I'd heard) not planning to migrate from their current ILS to Evergreen in the near term.

Can someone on this list provide any additional info as to what King County plans to do? Because they are one of the largest library systems in the country, many of us  on the sidelines are watching this situation as a harbinger of how well or poorly the current Evergreen incarnation works for a really big consolidated system .

Thanks,
BH
