1. V-smart does not require client software; the user only needs a browser.
2. As V-smart is browser-based, the total cost of ownership is reduced.
3. The system enables libraries to offer system functions to external parties, such as schools, as an Application Service Provider (ASP) or in a ‘Software as a Service' environment (SaaS).
4. The system is platform independent at the server side: V-smart can run on Windows, Linux and UNIX platforms.
5. The system is platform independent at the client side: the user front-end operates on any platform that supports Internet Explorer or FireFox browsers.
