AAM with PC Reservation®
By itself, PC Reservation runs fine without the AAM. Some multi-branch libraries wanted to enforce a policy that allowed x users per day system-wide. Instead of the inherent ability to control uses per branch, the added AAM capability allows libraries to control use on a global scale.
In addition, usage data can be written to the AAM for centralized reporting.
Some organizations charge for time, particularly customers in non-US countries. When the AAM is coupled with PC Reservation’s time vending feature, funds on deposit provide user-based accounting for time charging.
