VTLS to offer free ILS licenses

VTLS announced that it was offering free licenses to its Virtua ILS to North American libraries, if they would sign a 3-year maintenance agreement. This is to prevent migration to other, competitive ILS systems. In addition, the first five customers will get a 50% discount off of VTLS's VITAL digital repository system.

This seems to be a direct hit against SirsiDynix. Says Library Journal, quoting CEO Vinod Chachra:

The program is open to facilities "running products for which their vendor has announced the end-of-life."

SirsiDynix recently announced that it was rolling out a new platform called Rome, which would replace the plethora of systems it had acquired in mergers first with DRA and later with Dynix.
