Lanham, MD — Group 1 Software (Nasdaq: GSOF) today announced that Springer-Verlag New York LLC, a Group 1 customer for nearly a decade, has licensed its Universal Coder. This software solution incorporates, in a single application programming interface (API), Group 1's industry-leading address validation, correction and standardization technologies for over 220 countries and dependencies worldwide. Springer-Verlag New York LLC is a division of Springer Science+Business Media, one of the world's leading scientific publishers.
