With an installed base of over 2000 customers - with 40 new implementations in 2005 alone - an investment in technology from Endeavor Information Systems is a smart one. Since 1994, Endeavor has pioneered the development of advanced library management software systems. Endeavor’s full suite of products offer superior functionality coupled with intuitive interfaces that increase usability and efficiency.

With a strong leadership heritage and extensive financial and technology partners, Endeavor provides the ideal, long-term end-to-end solution for libraries managing increasingly diversified assets. In addition, Endeavor delivers:

Total Asset Management: Endeavor software seamlessly integrates data management, digital media management and operations for a complete view of library resources. In addition, all Endeavor products have been designed and built to work together, providing solutions that scale to meet the needs of your library to day and well into the future. Even as library needs change and collections grow in complexity, Endeavor enables you to build upon existing infrastructure.

Efficient: As a library director or administrator, where is the data that helps you evaluate your performance? Are you making decisions based on fact or intuition? Endeavor enables libraries to work smarter and increase efficiency by reducing overlapping costs as well as delivering enhanced reporting and simplified workflows. In fact, Endeavor Analyzer, our analysis and reporting solution, brings leading business intelligence technology to the library, enabling library directors and administration to make data-driven decisions about their collections. Users of Analyzer can generate usage, financial and productivity reports across the institution. By using defined folders containing key data and drag-and-drop functionality, you have both standard reports and extensive ad hoc reporting capability in a Web-based tool. By implementing Analyzer, in concert with Voyager and other Endeavor products, you gain a level of business intelligence unmatched in library systems anywhere.

Endeavor’s proven and trusted library management system has provided years of system continuity and stability at libraries around the world. Its heritage of technological innovation and service to libraries continues to make Endeavor an industry leader. In addition, Endeavor draws significant strength from its parent organization, Reed-Elsevier, a $7 billion (US) organization with more than 36,000 employees in over 200 countries. Across Reed-Elsevier, there is extensive expertise in scholarly publishing, business publishing, and large electronic databases and portals. For example, Endeavor and Elsevier have drawn upon each other in the area of Customer Usability to improve interfaces and enhance searching capabilities.
