Buzzeo Inc. installs first Java-based student information system at Maricopa Community College District.PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 27, 1997-- Buzzeo's Technology meets higher education's challenge to expand access and cut costs Buzzeo Inc. Monday announced the successful installation of Version 1.0 of its SISLogix(TM) Student Information System at Maricopa Community College District. "A lot of people at Buzzeo and Maricopa worked together to make this day happen and they worked hard to bring it in on time," said president and chief executive officer, Gene Buzzeo. SISLogix is the first enterprise system for higher education higher education Study beyond the level of secondary education. Institutions of higher education include not only colleges and universities but also professional schools in such fields as law, theology, medicine, business, music, and art. engineered using Buzzeo's ZEOLogix(TM) technology and Sun Microsystems's Java programming language. ZEOLogix and Java share an object-oriented, network-centric, multi-platform approach to technology that is the future of networked computing computing - computer .

With ZEOLogix technology, MIS staffs can install, maintain, and upgrade software in one central location. Buzzeo's ZEOLogix technology, with its open-access architecture, provides platform independence, another critical issue for MIS staffs in higher education. "The mix of Macintosh and PCs," said Bleed, is "typical of academic environments." Additional benefits derived from Buzzeo's ZEOLogix technology are that SISLogix is scalable and distributed. This allows the MIS department to flexibly and economically manage growth in the number of users, transactions, and increased data storage requirements. As a Premiere Customer, Maricopa participated in the development of the requirements for SISLogix. For Maricopa, the project began with a detailed study of systems and processes used within the District. This was followed by numerous rules-definition sessions with Application Engineers from Buzzeo. The Maricopa Community College District, serving the Phoenix metropolitan area, is the second-largest district in the country. MCCD MCCD Motor Carrier Compliance Division (Georgia Department of Public Safety) MCCD Mailman Center for Child Development (University of Miami) MCCD Michigan Council on Crime and Delinquency has 10 colleges and a Skill Center and serves over 200,000 students a year in the colleges and various training programs. "They have a world-wide and well-deserved reputation as technological leaders," said Gene Buzzeo.
