Andrew is the Commercial Director of Open Fifth and looks after all of our health and NHS library customers.
Our experience
We proudly work with health and NHS libraries and consortia throughout the UK, providing implementation, support and training for open source library software.
We believe that there is a natural alignment between the values of health libraries and open source software, including knowledge sharing, equal access to information, innovation, transparency, and cost-effectiveness.
Health and NHS libraries choose Koha LMS and Aspen Discovery software because they are comprehensive, engaging and user-focused solutions that meet their needs with a suite of available integrations. By using open source software, not proprietary, libraries don’t pay expensive licensing fees or face vendor lock-in and also benefit from a global open source development and user community.
At Open Fifth, our focus is on delivering high-quality implementation, training and support for libraries and building lasting relationships with the customers we serve.
