    21. Focus on Symphony

    22. Product Roadmap – 2009 Release Schedule

    23. SirsiDynix Symphony 3.3 Symphony 3.2 was largest release ever: Release Notes of over 500 pages Symphony 3.3 available in July 2009 Symphony 3.3 also a substantial release: Release Notes nearly 400 pages Themes: Services to end users Enhancements to the user experience Additional functionality Efficiencies to Staff

    24. Symphony 3.3 – Released July 2009 We discussed enhancement forum items earlier and you’ll see we’ve addressed many top requests throughout the software as you attend the individual sessions. One I will call out here is the separation of the patron name into three fields PLUS the bonus feature of a “nickname” or preferred name feature. The latter is great for those of us who do not use our middle names and can also provide you with a great way to acknowledge your end users without having an impact on their privacy—for those who have customized e-Library to greet the patron by name. We do provide utilities that will allow you to update your patron names as necessary, and we continue to support a means of having a single field for the name for those of you who may need it. You’ll recognize many other enhancement requests as you attend the sessions. A few more I’d like to point out include the ability to transfer holdings + holds in situatios that were previously denied, the ability to re-order the hold queue (really!), improvements in Acq. rollovers and x.12, and much more.

    25. Symphony 3.3 – Released July 2009 One of the great features of Horizon is the Vendor Interface Protocal, which we call the Vendor Inteface Port in SirsiDynix Symphony. This optional feature allows you to connect to a variety of materials providers via a web services interface, check for availability and price, readily see if you already have a bib/copies in your library, and as necessary, create a brief title so that you can place an order. There are many features in SirsiDynix Symphony 3.3 that were inspired by Horizon and Dynix capabilities and our conversations with many customers. You’ll see these as you attend individual sessions; a couple of others that I would like to note specifically includes support for UNIMARC, which is available in international versions of Horizon as well as upcoming support for MSSQL as a database option, which will be supported with SirsiDynix Symphony 3.3 but will be released after the initial 3.3 release.One of the great features of Horizon is the Vendor Interface Protocal, which we call the Vendor Inteface Port in SirsiDynix Symphony.

    26. Symphony Staff Web Last year we discussed StaffWeb for K12 libraries and many of you have expressed interest in a streamlined, web-based interface appropriate for other library types. With 3.3, StaffWeb is available for both K12 and non-K12 libraries as an optional interface. StaffWeb requires little or no training and as a web-based front end, is way easy for sys. admins!Last year we discussed StaffWeb for K12 libraries and many of you have expressed interest in a streamlined, web-based interface appropriate for other library types.
