[Wactclc-primo] Primo VE and Total Care

[Guidry, Wade]

As I see them:

Advantages
-easier to understand (no more alma normalization rules)
-faster indexing for alma content
-folded into Alma interface, so everything is in one place

Disadvantages
-I don't really see any; in my mind, Total Care isn't necessarily a useful model for something like the PBO

One thing to think about... what have you used Total Care for? And how useful was it for you.

I'd also put the question back to you. After going to ELUNA, what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages?

Subject: [Wactclc-primo] Primo VE and Total Care

Hi Wade,


I see that a question was asked about whether or not Total Care is going away. The response was, "Total Care goes away with Primo VE, but SF will of course continue to exist, and you can continue to post Primo questions via SF." If an institution chooses not to migrate to Primo VE, will SF make customizations to their Primo instance and troubleshoot/fix problems in Primo? What are the disadvantages of not migrating to Primo VE?



Thanks,

Traci
