Changes at SirsiDynix EMEA
Many thanks to Marshall Breeding for reporting the news about the change of management at SirsiDynix EMEA (who are responsible for the UK).

Another one bites the dust — RIP SirsiDynix EPS Rooms
Wow — looks like another flagship SirsiDynix product has been shelved. According to reports from attendees at the SuperConference, the company is dropping Stephen Abram's beloved EPS Rooms product. Never mind, "shift happens".
At the conference, the company also announced their version of Primo/Encore (branded "Enterprise"). Curiously, this will be a SaaS only [...]
