Student registration printing a huge success thanks to software supplied by SPI

SPI, the African distributor for utility software products and services to the open systems segment of the IT industry, today announced that printing associated with student registration at the University of Johannesburg this year was a huge success.

“Student registration is always a stressful time for any educational establishment,” commented Tinus van Zyl of the University of Johannesburg. “Although the registration itself is handled by our ITS system, the printing requirement from this or any other system can often turn out to be a nightmare.”

“We recently upgraded our printing system to COSprint, which was supplied via SPI, and this year's registration printing was the first real test for this new software,” added Van Zyl. “The software investment that we made has more than been justified in that this was our smoothest year ever from a printing perspective, and didn't, for instance, utilise any of the support that SPI had organised for us to handle any issues should they arise.”

COSprint is an advanced output management and print spooling package used by enterprises with an IT infrastructure incorporating UNIX and/or Linux servers, and has a significant base of users in South Africa.
