FSI began as an answer to a need, and every development, release and customer interaction, that's what we focus on. Meeting the needs of our clients.
Michael was asked to consult on a Library Management System for the school where his three children attended in Mount Waverley, Victoria.
The software was going to cost the school in excess of $30,000 for a DOS-based library management system, so Michael offered to build a Library Management System for free if they waited 4 weeks.
The system was delivered 4 weeks later and the librarian was so impressed that she gave a copy of the software to another librarian, who then passed it onto another librarian.
Before long, Michael saw a need to dedicate himself to the school library industry and provide training, support and system upgrades for FSI's first generation library management system:
FILMS (Functional Integrated Library Management System).
The FSI model was born:
- $0 up-front licensing costs
- 1x flat annual maintenance fee
- All upgrades and updates included
- All Professional Development events included
- All manuals included
- All on-board training included
