January 7, 2015 – Toronto, ON<\/em>\u2014Students and staff at Laurentian University are enjoying major\u00a0improvements in their campus card experience this fall thanks to a relatively simple system upgrade\u00a0implemented over the summer by ITC Systems. The upgrade allowed the university to retain most of its\u00a0original hardware while benefitting from the extensive capabilities provided by MultiPlan, ITC Systems\u2019\u00a0campus commerce management software.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had a long and very positive relationship with Laurentian,\u201d says ITC Systems CEO and President\u00a0Campbell Richardson. \u201cWhen we found out that they were interested in a new one card system, we\u00a0showed them how their existing system could be easily adapted to unleash an enormous amount of new\u00a0capability.\u201d<\/p>\n

ITC Systems began supplying Laurentian with transaction control services in 1989 and although the\u00a0original legacy card system in place was working well, it was based on old technology. Students were\u00a0required to carry multiple cards to make purchases on campus, and administrative staff were tied up in\u00a0complex reporting procedures that required them to take equipment offline and out of service on a\u00a0regular basis in order to print reports.<\/p>\n

Laurentian was already using MultiPlan for the food services area and ITC Systems extended MultiPlan\u00a0to the university\u2019s laundry and copy\/printing areas this year. Laurentian uses PaperCut MF to control\u00a0print\/copy on campus and, as a PaperCut ASC (Authorized Solutions Center), ITC Systems has developed\u00a0a highly sophisticated integration protocol that allows PaperCut to work seamlessly with the MultiPlan\u00a0solution.<\/p>\n

In fact, ITC Systems has developed ways to synchronize MultiPlan and PaperCut with almost any legacy\u00a0system in existence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Laurentian decides in future to expand the MultiPlan system to other areas, such as parking and\u00a0access control, it can be easily done,\u201d Mr. Richardson notes. \u201cIn the meantime, reporting and\u00a0reconciliations for existing services are dramatically easier than they used to be and administrators are\u00a0saving a huge amount of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The student experience is also dramatically better than it used to be.<\/p>\n
