Microform Academic Publishers, a UK-based academic publisher, has chosen LibLynx to manage access to their online collections, including British Online Archives.
LibLynx will manage authentication and authorisation of Microform's individual and institutional subscribers. Microform will administer content packages and customer access through a new, web-based CRM.
Faced with the challenge of growing access with limited resources, Microform were looking for a solution that reduced technical complexity, improved their control over content and customers, and provided a painless upgrade path.
Moving access management to the LibLynx cloud gives Microform a painless and cost-effective upgrade path, freeing up internal IT resources from maintaining their legacy codebase. The LibLynx CRM provides Microform with a quick and easy tool for adding and maintaining customers and collections, as well as providing much greater flexibility in developing new business models to monetise their content. It is estimated that time spent resolving access issues would fall by 80 percent going forward.
