ByWater Solutions supports the open source Koha ILS, offering installation and data migration, hosting solutions, feature development, 24-7 tech support, and comprehensive library staff training services.
Koha originally debuted in 2000 as an ILS solution for small, single-site libraries, but 16 years of community-led development have made Koha a viable option for larger libraries, and the growth of development houses such as ByWater has positioned the open source ILS as an alternative to commercial systems for public and academic libraries that need a support infrastructure in place without an in-house IT department scaled to work on the system.
In 2015, the company integrated Koha with the EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS), enabling Koha libraries to use EDS as either a back-end discovery solution or front-end search interface for patrons. And in October, the company launched its Koha Klassmates program, which offers free, hosted Koha installations to any MLIS programs interested in offering in-school training and instruction on the ILS.
