Advantages of SLIM software over software developed In-house
In case you are wondering whether you should develop a Library software in house, we request you to consider the following points and then choose SLIM as your library software.

Ready to use from day one:

SLIM has exhaustive set of library management functions. Hence the library gets computerised in all respect. In case of in-house developed software many functions remain in the process of development. Library staff has to work with the manual procedures as well as with the computer system. This results in doing double work for the library staff.

Cost Effective:

SLIM software is developed by team of computer professionals along with library professionals and astute readers over last eight years. The cost of development runs into many man-years. It comes to you at the price of a few man-months. Developing the software in-house with all its functionality will surely exceed the cost what you are paying for SLIM.

Proven software:

SLIM is implemented at over 250 libraries. It is a stable product. In case of in-house system, the development cycle will go through many trials and errors. You are paying for the time and efforts of your library and the development staff during this time.

After sale support:

SLIM software is supported by our team of engineers. In case of in-house software, this support may not be possible for various reasons such as

	• Non availability of in house engineer- who may be pre-occupied developing other systems.
	• Man-power turnover - new person who takes over the development may not know what has been done so far. Hence again starts from the beginning.
	• Continuous upgradation of the software to keep pace with the latest technological advances may not be possible as maintaining library software need not be the focus area of the original development team.
