<p class="MsoNormal">As a follow-on response to the question about Primo VE advantages…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another one is that Primo VE updates will be monthly, in line with Alma releases. This means potentially faster turnaround and features and fixes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition, looking at the Primo VE June release notes (below), some of these updates are looking useful (like ‘book chapter’ vs ‘book’ facet for PCI content).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And some of these updates may be Primo VE-specific.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As with most kinds of software developments on platforms like this, as new iterations of a product (like Primo VE) gain momentum within the user base, the vendor will begin to focus more on developing for the newer platform.<o:p></o:p></p>
