After the merger of a large number of libraries in South Limburg, it was very important for BiblioNova to harmonise and standardise. Many branches also needed new equipment. By using a Roll Out Facility, all IT could be updated and standardised – both the library system and the office work stations. Because IT was the biggest and most fluctuating item in the budget, Gemlease was used to convert this into a fixed monthly operating cost, enabling them to keep the organisation running from an annual subsidy.
