I am always amazed at how easily some companies say that their solutions provide the “Best Value” to the library community, without clearly identifying what exactly that means. Like so many marketing slogans, providing value is often not really understood and after repeated usage simply becomes marketing clatter to be ignored.
EOS has spent three decades carefully developing the features the library community needs today, while creating a solid platform for the easy implementation of future requirements. Simply put, value to EOS means “The most and highest quality ILS features for the price”.
Our Web-based solution, EOS.Web, was introduced to the library market eight years ago. We have continually enhanced it each year with additional features, market-specific bundles, alternative delivery methods and professional support services. A better product does not in itself define value. It is the combination of great features at a great price that defines value.
EOS.Web features include:
- Cloud or On-Premise
- Cataloging
- Circulation
- Serials
- Acquisitions
- OPAC Discovery
- Z39.50 Client/Server
- Indexer
- KnowledgeBuilder
- Reference Tracking

All at a great low price that truly defines “Value”. You owe it to your library to look at EOS, the company that has been defining value for over 30 years!
