About TUT and the migration

TUT, with over 60,000 students across multiple campuses, is a key player in South African research and innovation. Seeking improved usability and global discoverability, the university migrated to Open Repository, a modern platform that ensures better metadata management, seamless integration with global indexing services, and compliance with open-access policies.

As a new South African client of Atmire, TUT strengthens its commitment to open-access research. The transition supports broader knowledge sharing and aligns with global efforts to make academic work more accessible. This migration from Vital to Open Repository marks a major step in TUT’s digital transformation.
