It notes that FOLIO's launch opens a new chapter in library technology that could have a greater impact than mergers and acquisitions.

8. Echoes
“Its launch opens a new chapter in the library technology industry — potentially
wielding an even greater impact than the latest rounds of mergers and
acquisitions.”
– Marshall Breeding in American Libraries, April 22, 2016
“With FOLIO, the future is open: open to new relationships, open to true
collaboration and open to capacities that will enable libraries to achieve our
mission of service to users. For the first time, libraries will be not only
customers but investors with vendor partners in defining the future of library
systems.”
– David Carlson, Dean of University Libraries at Texas A&M University, June 24,
2016
