Hi Nita, If it's relevant to your assignment, I have a hair to split: Evergreen is not in itself a vendor -- it is a software project. There are vendors who provide support, development, migration, etc. for Evergreen libraries but there is no one single Evergreen vendor in the same way there are for proprietary products like Polaris (III) or Symphony (SirsiDynix), etc.
A current list of Evergreen service providers is here: https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=faqs:evergreen_companies Additionally there are groups which -- while not vendors in the traditional sense -- serve in a vendor capacity for their respective consortia, such as the Georgia Public Library Service does for Georgia PINES. That said, I work for one of the Evergreen service providers and I will answer questions from that perspective if you need information.
