Gaylord Information Systems' latest release of its Polaris client/server product focuses on improved performance. Working with Microsoft engineers, Gaylord refined many database processes to optimize SQL server and other Microsoft BackOffice utilities. Several of the larger Polaris installations report improved record processing.
The release also includes customer-requested enhancements, such as scoping availability in the patron access catalog, purchase order templates in acquisitions, automatic prediction of serials without enumeration, and bulk change functionality in cataloging. Customer input affected some 85 percent of the enhancements.
