TinREAD is not another library system. First of all it is a framework specialized for development of library systems. That makes it very adaptive and makes the deployment fast and reliable. The power of the system is that some complex implementations need customizations or enhancing the business model with specific procedures, all are operated into TinREAD.Engine by enhancing the knowledge database and then generate the proper application, not by hard-coding. Thus, every client is receiving an application adapted to its specific needs.
Usually, for customizing an average project it take a period of time from one to two weeks.
