Editor's Notes
- Andrew Nagy Director of SaaS Innovation
- This talk is about Platform-as-a-Service Platforms can make it very easy to build new products and services in a more efficient way
- This platform is a collaborative open source project
- The consolidation in the library automation industry has created a problem with a lack of competition and innovation. Let’s fix that.
- In order to spark and support innovation – we need an open marketplace to increase competition and create opportunity
- Platforms are a tool that allows developers and 3rd parties to easily create new tools and services
- This is Library Platform as a Service
- For those of who you are unfamiliar with the Platform as a Service concept – You’ve probably heard of Amazon’s Web Services They are a collection of microservices that together can help build a powerful solution with out a tremendous amount of engineering work.
- Another great example is Salesforce.com’s Force.com platform. It is again, a collection of microservices. You do not have to worry about servers, infrastructure, networking – that is all provided for you as a service
- The Internet of Things is a newly growing platform that companies from many industries are working on
- This is my IOT platform in my home – I use products from different vendors to make up my ecosystem.
- FOLIO is an open source platform. Designed to create and spark innovation. Creating an open marketplace to allow for new competition
- The platform is designed into three components: A system layer that contains data and configuration An API layer to make it really easy to interface with the system layer A UI Toolkit to make creating UIs easy and simple
- By introducing a marketplace, developers can share their Apps and libraries can pick and choose the Apps that they want and need to support their workflows.
- When will this all be done? It started in 2015 by a development effort from IndexData. Then in August of 2016, the code was made public on GitHub. An open slack channel, discuss forum and JIRA site has also been made available to support collaboration.
- In 2018, there will be a solution that resembles an ILS sitting on top of the FOLIO platform along with an app marketplace.
- Our future is bright, but we can only go there together! FOLIO Is a collaboration and we need as much support as we can get.
- The future of libraries is open – please join the community. We need your support. We have a number of Special Interest Groups that you can join – from engineering groups to process and improvement groups.
- Here is how to join
