Starting with a presentation from Matti Shem Tov – the CEO of Ex Libris. First point of business is following up on the recent press release announcing that the private equity firm ‘Francisco Partners’ have wholly acquired Ex Libris.

The message from Matti is that this changes nothing in terms of the day to day business or management. It simply gives secure financial backing to the company, which will allow expansion, or acquisitions for the company.

Some impressive statistics – according to Newsweek 71 of the top 100 univiersities in the World use at least one Ex Libris products. SFX seems to be the best selling at the moment, with over 1000 customers – and to ‘celebrate’ together with eIFL.net, they have dontated a copy of SFX to the University of Lesotho (in southern Africa).
