SPI, the African distributor for utility software products and services to the Open Systems segment of the IT industry, today announced that several universities had upgraded their Xi-Batch and/or Xi-Text implementations to UK-based-Open Systems Management's (OSM) COSbatch and/or COSprint.
The University of Johannesburg upgraded to COSprint as part of a general upgrade of its ITS system; the University of Stellenbosch upgraded to both COSprint and COSbatch; and the University of Venda upgraded to COSprint.
“We rate SPI as one of our top two suppliers re services,” commented Marius Vorster of the University of Stellenbosch, a sentiment that was echoed by Tinus van Zyl of the University of Johannesburg and Joel Vele, Director of Computer Services at the University of Venda.
“These moves follow several other similar upgrades among our customer base,” added Chris Anderson, Managing Director of SPI. “Both COSprint and its sister product COSbatch now have a significant presence in South Africa. They have a strong reputation as very powerful and stable software utilities.”
