National Defense University

The University educates military and civilian leaders on security strategy, military strategy and resource strategy in the national security environment. The University Library's Special Collection is composed of more than 2.4 million objects including documents, photographs, video and realia dating back to 1534. Prior to the implementation of the PTFS solution, access to the information was extremely difficult and in some cases, impossible. The actual documents, photographs, videos and all other information were stored with a few finding aids, indices and inventory control. PTFS provided an enterprise-wide content management system with full text search and retrieval capability.

US Marine Corps

The United States Marine Corps wanted to implement an Integrated Library System to offer accessibility library users and efficiencies and process improvement to library staff. PTFS implemented an Integrated Library System (ILS) to automate library processes. To accomplish this, PTFS designed a union catalog that converted the existing library record collections from either shelf list cards or non-MARC electronic records into USMARC. PTFS helped the Marine Corps achieve a more efficient and less costly library system by performing LAN installations at 18 USMC bases around the world.
