On Feb 10th, I did a “live” image upload test with Jostens YTO  (YeartechOnline) vs. another publisher’s program.  I won’t mention any names because I’m a nice guy.

The YB staff that doesn’t currently use us was simply amazed at the speed in which the Jostens site uploaded images.  It crushed.  Let me come to your school and we can do the test in person.  It’s a ton of fun. My heart was beating, I’m sure  yours will race too once you see how much time you save. This should make the “List of 1000 Awesome Things.” Did I mention the school loved our Face Recognition technology too? James Bond kind of stuff.
