01-16-2007 DRL On the agenda for January ILS Operations Committee meeting.
10/19/06 JP From the ILS Operations Committee meeting: Donovan reported on Horizon Debt Collect, the SD product that reports on blocks in the patron records, pulls the information out and sends it to Unique Management for collection. Unique Management does the collecting but, since Debt Collect is able to ease their work load, gives customers a better price. Pricing is based on seats, or the number of staff that could use it. At 201-500 seats, it would be $4,325. A 25 seat license, enough for just Austin PL, it would be $1,992. This could be offered as a Value-Added Service but some research needs to be done to decide if there is sufficient need to just make it a Basic Service. Discussion held on the two options. SELCO staff will do additional research and report back to this committee.
