[Eril-l] Unconventional ERM products or solutions?

Wed Jun 10 09:45:59 PDT 2020

Hi Heather,

My name is Tejs Grevstad, and I am one of the Co-founders of
ConsortiaManager, which are the builders of ROAM.plus ERM. I noticed a
couple of specific questions related to ROAM.plus that I would like to
address.

You are right that ROAM.plus is relatively new on the market, but besides
being co-built with Malmo University and Stanford Graduate School of
Business, it might surprise you that we are a 6-year old company servicing
more than 4000 libraries through our first product ConsortiaManager. Most
libraries don´t know about us yet since we deliberately decided to spend
our resources on developing great products instead of salespeople and fancy
marketing material. Nevertheless, we got more than 20 early adopters of
ROAM.plus already.

We do have usage stats functionality ready in ROAM.plus. The first version
is what we call “Simple Usage Stats”, which is a temporary solution until
our project with CC-PLUS on COUNTER 5 SUSHI retrieval is ready. If
interested, we will be having an open Demo on June 23rd at 2.00 pm EDT.
Besides a general presentation of ROAM.plus we will also present and
discuss the stats functionality. Everybody can sign up via this Zoom link:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0of-iqrzsiHNQ27-JX6VT4mZe5jfHZdOKz

I´ll be happy to answer any additional questions either on or off the list.

Best regards,

Tejs Grevstad
