LibLime Enterprise Koha represents a business process change for LibLime and is an adaptive response to balance customer requirements and business sustainability. LibLime will now be focusing all development efforts on the LibLime Enterprise Koha codebase. All custom sponsored development projects will now fall into a single release schedule, overseen by LibLime.
"Just to make one thing crystal clear: All of LibLime's development efforts will be available to the library community under an open-source license," says LibLime CEO, Joshua Ferraro. "These are process changes, not philosophical changes. As the leader in open-source solutions for libraries, LibLime is 100% committed to the open-source movement."

"We've seen an explosion of growth over the past two years in both LibLime's customer base and interest in Koha," says Tina Burger, VP Marketing for LibLime.
"This rapid growth necessitated close examination of the company's business processes to ensure LibLime's future sustainability as a company and ongoing customer success," she continues. "Since open source is still an emerging business model in libraries, we looked carefully at successful open-source communities in other industries to formulate our plan for future growth. LibLime Enterprise Koha blends the best practices of the most successful open-source communities."
