DAVID BREMSER, I.T. DIRECTOR,
CANDLEWICK PRESS
We reviewed a number of options for achieving our goals, including redeveloping existing systems and purchasing an off-the-shelf solution. Virtusales provided us with more benefits along with a much greater depth in functionality, configurability, and it was the only system that provided us with internationalisation.
We are very much looking forward to continuing to work with Virtusales. [...] The whole team strongly believes that working with Biblio3 positively impacts our processes.
