Technology

At Innovative, we believe in technologies that provide the maximum scalability for secure implementations, a high level of choice in Innovative products and their relationship to your overall library technology vision. Innovative’s technological vision includes:

A flexible Services Oriented Architecture design for efficient software development, integration of Web-based and Web-scale services, and multiple device support (browser, mobile, tablet).

Innovative’s renowned information access, fully-functional workflow, and underlying business logic that empowers staff with precise decision-making tools and unmatched operational efficiencies.

Integrated resource management that brings traditional and e-book and e-resource applications together.

Discrete software layers for application logic and presentation processing, increasing usability for library users and making it simple to add or update applications.

Open source tools including a PostgreSQL database and Lucene text search engine library.

The development of local applications using the robust RESTful API layer, as well as APIs for interaction with popular Web and social-networking sites.

In short, our technology vision creates an environment where library staff can connect with us and each other to create new solutions and share ideas and applications. Innovative’s products comply with current standards across the Web and at libraries. Innovative Interfaces is a voting member of NISO, an active member of the Z39.50 Testbed and Implementors Groups and the UNICODE consortium, and a contributing member of the NCIP and Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) committees.

Innovative offers the right solution for each library, whether it is a hosted, cloud-based, or local implementation. From small libraries with special collections to large consortia that process millions of transactions a year, Innovative’s implementations help them succeed, year after year.
