How these services support your launch
The Managed Services page covers the full guided route to Koha on AWS: planning, migration, training, setup, and support.
This page gives a closer look at the individual services libraries most often add.
Some libraries use self-service only. Others add migration, training, configuration, or consulting where they need extra help.
