January 28, 2015 -- Emeryville, CA. Innovative announced today that its flagship products were selected by 144 library systems in 2014; 49 of them are new libraries joining the Innovative family. The systems represent over 1,100 libraries of all types in over 20 countries. All of the company's platforms - the Polaris ILS, the Sierra Library Services Platform, and Virtua - were selected in 2014. The libraries are either upgrading from Innovative's Millennium ILS to the Sierra Library Services Platform or migrating from competing systems such as Alma, Evergreen, Horizon, Koha, Voyager, and Symphony.

"It's been a fantastic and unprecedented year for Innovative in the marketplace," says Bill Schickling, SVP of Global Sales. "We saw a large and diverse group of new libraries choose Innovative because of the depth of knowledge we have and our strong portfolio of products. No other company is better positioned to deliver precisely the solution a given library needs. The number of upgrades from Millennium to Sierra was also strong in 2014 and reflects our commitment to service and helping libraries reach their goals in the long term."
