BIG Announcement and a request.

I'm going to build up to this one as it is a really big deal for us here at Evanced. Later this week I will be officially announcing our latest new product offering (BranchAnywhere). It's a Library Materials Vending solution (something we initially explored approaching just as a reseller earlier in the year). We've been working on our own solution now, and it's a huge venture and investment in terms of time and money but I think our approach to it will be welcomed by Libraries particularly in North America.

Though we'll be announcing this exciting new product, we are NOT finished with it. We won't be until we find out from all of you how it really should work and be designed. What we'll be announcing and then later showing at PLA 2010 in Portland (OR) is merely our initial working prototype. Call it rather polished starting point for discussion about how these systems should be designed and built. Even though our personal experience has deep roots in automation and specialty machines we know we can't design this in a vacuum and get it exactly right. Therefore, we are actively seeking everyone's input into the best ideas and approaches. We are all very excited to start hearing what everyone thinks.

I'm planning to post something every day this week about BranchAnywhere so stay tuned.

Thanks
