<DIV>For Release On: January 13, 2010 <BR><BR>PTFS to Acquire LibLime <BR>Bethesda, MD--January 13, 2010--Progressive Technology Federal Systems, Inc. (PTFS), an industry-leading library solutions provider and developer of the ArchivalWare digital library and <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1263494097_1 style="BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none">content management software</SPAN>, has announced it will acquire LibLime, the global leader in open-source software solutions for libraries. The transaction is expected to close before the end of January 2010. <BR>"PTFS has supported ILS solutions for 15 years and is committed to resolving community differences and advancing Koha <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1263494097_2>open source library technology</SPAN>. At a time when many libraries are experiencing budget cuts, PTFS's LibLime division plans to significantly enhance this highly cost effective library
automation alternative," commented John Yokley, PTFS CEO. <BR>This acquisition expands PTFS's existing U.S. and European open-source library solutions business. LibLime will accelerate PTFS's <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1263494097_3>Digital Library System</SPAN> (DLS) initiative, an integration between the Koha ILS and ArchivalWare. The DLS solution will provide libraries and information centers with a single toolset to manage all of their collections - print and digital. <BR>PTFS will integrate its library solutions team with the LibLime team, including LibLime's founding CEO, <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1263494097_4 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed">Joshua Ferraro</SPAN>, who will continue to lead LibLime's current development projects to conclusion. PTFS's LibLime division will bolster enterprise-class support resources for a combined customer base of over 800 special, public, and <SPAN class=yshortcuts
id=lw_1263494097_5>academic libraries</SPAN>. <BR>In 2005, LibLime became the first U. S. company to commercially support Koha, an open source <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1263494097_6 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed">Integrated Library System</SPAN>. LibLime has scaled up rapidly in response to growing demand for collaboratively-developed library solutions, and currently supports over 500 libraries with its customer-focused, highly-regarded SaaS, support and development services. <BR>"We are impressed with PTFS's experience in the ILS space, as well as their outstanding record for <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1263494097_7>customer service focus</SPAN> in all their business divisions. This acquisition will bring that experience and customer focus to bear for LibLime's existing customers," said LibLime's founding CEO, Joshua Ferraro. <BR>The acquisition establishes PTFS as the world's largest company providing open-source ILS
solutions for libraries. PTFS will hold a press conference at the LibLime ALA booth (2538) at <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1263494097_8 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed">11:30 AM on Saturday January 16th</SPAN>. <BR>About PTFS, Inc.: Founded in 1995, PTFS is a library centric company and is the developer of the ArchivalWare content management software. PTFS has provided commercial ILS <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1263494097_9>systems integration</SPAN>, implementation, and support since its inception.
