Lyngsoe Systems and SirsiDynix announce Symphony - IMMS™ integration
December 8, 2021, LEHI, Utah and AARS, Denmark—SirsiDynix, provider of the market-leading Symphony ILS and Lyngsoe Systems, provider of smart library solutions including IMMS—Intelligent Material Management System—have signed a collaboration agreement that will lead to full, real-time integration between Symphony and IMMS. This exciting development will enable libraries using the Symphony ILS to benefit from the transformational changes and efficiency experienced by libraries already using IMMS, such as Aarhus and Copenhagen in Denmark, Helsinki in Finland, and Sacramento in the United States. These libraries have seen significant reductions in the amount of staff time focused on material handling, enabling increased focus on delivering exceptional public services.
“We believe that IMMS provides dramatic efficiency improvements for material transit and hold shelf processes for multi-branch and multi-library settings,” said Berit Nelson, Chief Product Officer at SirsiDynix. “IMMS represents new ways to maximize use and storage of physical materials while promoting collection equity and saving staff time. We are excited to announce development of an IMMS interface for SirsiDynix Symphony."
