MetaCommunications Donates Software Licenses to University of Northern Iowa Graphic Communications Program
Iowa City, IA (PRWeb) March 14, 2007 -- A leading software developer of cross-platform process management and productivity solutions for the graphic arts industry, today announced that it has donated 25 software licenses for Job Manager, one of the components of its Workgroups 2007 process and productivity suite, to the University of Northern Iowa for use in its Graphic Communications program.
"We believe strongly in helping to develop the next generation of graphic arts professionals," said Bob Long, Executive Vice President at MetaCommunications. "Dr. Carl Nelson Blue, Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator of the Graphic Communications Program in UNI's Department of Industrial Technology has an excellent program in place at the University, and we mutually determined that giving students access to Job Manager would be a valuable addition to the program."
Job Manager will be used in the school's Estimating and Management course, where students learn about costing methods for digital and traditional graphic imaging, as well as current management best practices for print production. As part of the course, students also produce and present a comprehensive research project of estimating and management practices at a local printing company as well as identify career opportunities available in estimating and management within the printing industry.
"In a highly competitive industry such as printing, it is critical to have good business management practices in place," said University of Northern Iowa's Dr. Blue. "Through the generosity of MetaCommunications, we will be able to provide our students with access to an important tool that will help them understand the costing dynamics of a production environment through access to real-time job data. This not only facilitates the learning process, but makes our students more marketable when they graduate." The University's Graphic Communications program graduates an average of 15-20 students annually.
