St. Louis, MO – July 8, 2011 – ITC Systems, a leading provider of integrated campus card solutions to colleges and universities and MBS Systems, a campus bookstore systems provider are pleased to announce a prominent integration capability now available to their campus bookstore users nationwide.
The integration between MBS POS solution and the Multiplan student account solution was smoothly deployed at Kennesaw State University (KSU) when they decided to make the switch from their current vendor to MBS late last year for their campus bookstore.
“In order to aid KSU in a seamless transition with the change in bookstore vendors, ITC Systems rose to the challenge and sought the opportunity in working with MBS to create an integrated platform between the two systems,” said Campbell Richardson, CEO of ITC Systems.
ITC Systems worked with MBS using AJB’s Flexible Integrated Payment System (FiPay), an industry standard communication gateway that interfaces store devices and systems. An enhanced functionality through this full integration includes that all communication is encrypted with SSL certification, guaranteeing additional security throughout the entire system. This combined platform has allowed students and administrators an effortless yet valuable consumer experience in their campus bookstore.
“We had a easy transition with the integration between ITC Systems and ourselves and look forward to more opportunities to work together,” noted Pat Pellock, Director of MBS Systems Development.
