<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Bethesda, MD—March 15,
2010—Progressive Technology Federal Systems, Inc. (PTFS), an
industry-leading library solutions provider and developer of the ArchivalWare
digital library and content management software, has acquired LibLime, the
global leader in open-source software solutions for libraries. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><a name="OLE_LINK5"></a><a name="OLE_LINK6"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'> </span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>“PTFS
has supported ILS solutions for 15 years, so the acquisition of LibLime and the
addition of their Koha customer base is logical expansion for PTFS. With our
in-depth knowledge of both the bibliographic and digital collection arenas, we
are in an excellent position to bring the necessary technologies to libraries.
We will make the Koha Open-Source ILS more cost-effective for libraries
struggling to keep pace with commercial pricing during tough economic times.
We welcome the opportunity to partner with all of these new customers to
advance the capabilities of Koha,” stated John Yokley, PTFS CEO.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>This acquisition expands
PTFS’s existing U.S. and European open-source library solutions business.
In addition, it will accelerate PTFS’s Digital Library System (DLS)
initiative, an integration between the Koha ILS and ArchivalWare. The DLS
solution will provide libraries and information centers with a next generation
solution by providing a single toolset to manage all of their collections
– print and digital. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The first order of business
will be to transition the existing LibLime customers into PTFS’s support
center. PTFS will focus on enhancing customer support for the LibLime
contracts acquired and will immediately assign additional resources required to
accomplish this task. PTFS will also take over all existing development
projects already under way at LibLime – including the multi-year
Westchester Academic Library Director’s Organization project which is
adding rich academic functionality to the Koha platform; and the Madison,
Wisconsin-based South Central Library System project which will significantly
increase Koha’s support of public library workflows in a consortial
environment. PTFS is excited to work with all of the sponsoring organizations
to expand the Koha platform.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>PTFS pledges to enhance and
maintain the www.koha.org site as the focal point for the world’ s Koha
activities– the place to find the latest information on Koha support,
documentation, news, and downloads. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Combining the PTFS and
Liblime Koha operations will bring nearly 150 organizations totaling over 700
libraries into the PTFS Koha customer support group. The acquisition
establishes PTFS as the world’s largest company providing open-source ILS
solutions for libraries. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
