we need to analyse and combine our data with data from other systems that are in use at the university. extracting data from Alma in a meaningful way is way too cumbersome to be useful. all methods that I am aware of are based on an Analytics report, and have restrictions on numbers of rows that can be exported at one time. E.g. we would need to compare data from our reading list system (which we can access using an ODBC connector despite the system being SaaS) with print and electronic holdings in Alma and their usage. I do not particularly want to go down the route of duplicating our Alma holdings in a local repository. When I contacted ExLibris support about possible solutions I was asked to add this to the ideas exchange.
