“I am honored and excited to take on the responsibilities as CEO on the heels of launching the most exciting software product, Inspire Discovery, in the library software industry in decades,” said Javadizadeh. “We will continue to drive investment into our in-market products, services offerings, and customer support while we blaze new trails with the Inspire platform.
