- Without the mandate to integrate, the implementation of a new, immature LMS is likely to be more disruptive than useful for TSI at this time.
- The longer we can wait for Alma (or other next generation systems) to improve, the better.
- Moving forward along separate paths towards new system implementation would be counterproductive for TSI.
- We should evaluate the need for and promise of a new LMS according to the same four drivers we're proposing for TSI projects and collaboration: quality, productivity, improvement, and innovation.
- It would be useful to step back from Alma and perform another environmental scan of next-generation LMS products (when the time is right to move off Voyager), focusing on our shared functional requirements. What is particularly important for technical services is interoperability among different (presumably best-in-class) systems -- including the LMS.
