Platforms we support

Every library technology, one partner

From a single library management system to a full research-publishing stack — installed, secured and supported end to end.

Integrated Library System (ILS)

📚 Koha — the world's leading open-source library management system

Run your entire library on Koha: cataloguing (MARC21 / RDA), circulation, acquisitions, serials, the OPAC and reports. We tune Zebra or Elasticsearch search, configure SIP2 for self-checkout, and connect RFID and barcode hardware.

  • New Koha installation, upgrades and version migration
  • Data migration from Liberty, Alexandria, SLIMS, spreadsheets or legacy ILS
  • Z39.50 / SRU copy cataloguing and union catalogues
  • OPAC theming, SIP2 self-service and hosting on ChengetAI Cloud
