  5. Evaluation • Team of 5 – 3 IT and 2 Library • Service requirements • Ability to meet ANU timeframes • Project personnel • Other implementation projects • Methodology • Fee structures • References

  6. Outcome Very challenging to make a decision based on the evaluation criteria • Both met service requirements – neither had circulation functionality • Pricing similar • Presentations from VDX & Relais

  7. VDX Decision • Confidence in after-sales service • Same product as LADD – familiarity of systems – less training involved • Known interoperability with ArticleReach • OCLC – administers updates • Excellent references from industry • Long term - WorldShareILL

  8. Good and Bad • Project manager for contracts and IT • Web design assistance – instructions and webpage • Double-check - don’t assume test systems will be replicated in live system • Ensure budget includes in-house ‘release’ • Get the right IT people involved
