SirsiDynix Frustrate UK Horizon Customers
Dave Pattern the well known Library 2.0 proponent and SirsiDynix Horizon system manager from Huddersfield University has highlighted a contradiction with the use of the term ‘worldwide’ in a press release about Horizon 7.4.2.
As Dave points out, although the use of the term worldwide is used a couple of times in the release about new functionality “the reality is that Horizon 7.4.2 is a North American only release”
One could be charitable and put this down to marketing department force of habit, as I imagine they always try to refer to their worldwide customer base, but nevertheless it must add to the frustration (apparent in comments to Dave’s post) of non US-centric customers who I’m sure would love some of these new features.

Maybe it’s “worldwide” in the sense that there is a world and its, well, wide. And slowly being taken over (the ILS part of it anyway) by the likes of Equinox and Liblime.
