- benefit: internal project manager
- experienced staff- involve external
expertise- invest in a project
office
- pure matrix organization
- other projects lacked in key empolyees
![Page 25: The Integration of two large Aleph Library Systems](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050806/5681660b550346895dd94654/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
- define clear goals and structure
- involve project team- project planning can
be supported by software tools
- redundancy / lack of clarity
- too optimistic estimate of time and effort
![Page 26: The Integration of two large Aleph Library Systems](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050806/5681660b550346895dd94654/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
- concept papers provide a basis
- documentation with regard to migration and future projects
- don’t forget to involve all stakeholders
![Page 27: The Integration of two large Aleph Library Systems](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050806/5681660b550346895dd94654/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
- tests are very important – take the time!
- Risk management- Close collaboration of
UZH and ETH
- complex time recording
- overwork of key employees
![Page 28: The Integration of two large Aleph Library Systems](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050806/5681660b550346895dd94654/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
- well prepared & detailed migration plan
- buffer time- backups!- prepared press
communiqué
- performance problems
- unfavorable test caused additional subject indexing

Library users• bigger data amount at his
fingertips• only one user account• only one library card
Cataloguer• bigger data amount for
easier cataloging• improved quality due to
integrated, coordinated data management and standardised cataloguing
Library administrator• decrease of costs and
reducing workload• close collaboration
between the university libraries of Zurich
IT administrator• reducing costs for
technical infrastructure• technical infrastructure
will be streamlined and redundancy reduced
