We are Via Vitae Solutions, an IT firm located at Kolkata, India. We are working on customization and support on Koha for last 3 years. We have already installed, customized, data migrated, and provided training and support services on Koha for our several customers.

You need to follow the instructions on this page:

http://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/how-to-get-listed/

in particular, you are not fulfilling the requirement: "Companies must show their support of the Koha Community by adding a visible link to the Koha community website at http://www.koha-community.org to their Koha offering web page."

Dear Mr. Sheat Thanks for pointing out this missing issue. Now we have implemented a visible link to Koha Community website in our webpage showing support to the community. Please check our webpage at - http://www.viavitae.co.in/koha.php Other required details we already had e-mail yesterday to the community. We request you and all other community members to allow us get listed as support provider. Thanking You. Arkajyoti Adhikari Via Vitae Solutions Kolkata, 700064, India

I have doubt about the service/quality provided by them as they have written the things under customizations which is default value of koha and repeated same points several times under Customization.

The list is simply a list of people who claim to provide support for Koha. It is not an endorsement, and none of the people maintaining the list have the time or interest to vet the applicants. This is why there is a fixed set of criteria required to be listed that is easy to verify, and nothing more. It's not up to the list to be a recommendation, or for the people maintaining it to pass judgement on the quality of service or website. As such, this wouldn't prevent them from being listed. Anyone using the list should treat it like the yellow-pages in a phone book, it is simply an index of suppliers who have asked to be indexed. A side effect of this is that if anyone looking for Koha services demands that the supplier be listed on the list is doing it wrong, and should remove such language from their requests. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

Dear All,

First of all we like to thank you for reviewing our request.

One thing Mr. Mishra pointed out right that in our webpage there were several points those could be considered as default features of Koha - but those were not for misleading anyone but to give impression to our prospected customers about what they are supposed to get. However as you raised this point- we made necessary changes in our web page.

But it is true that we obviously made some customizations for our clients as per their requirements while installing Koha for their libraries- i.e. various custom reports, library clearance certificates, necessary changes in Patron Data (for college / university libraries) like for students - Dept, Class, Roll, Year etc. and for Teachers - Dept, Subject, Tenures etc., we have included various custom report export facilities to Spreadsheet Format, Barcode / Spine Label export to Document format, for public libraries we included different voter (patrons) lists, and many more.

For your satisfaction we are giving you contact details of our several clients, you may contact them and verify our works
