Blackboard Inc. - Galerie 2
The Blackboard ‘one-card’ transaction system is fundamental to campus success—not a niche solution serving a limited sphere of campus activity. It is powerful and ubiquitous—the online solution enabling campuses to manage and serve a growing volume of commerce needs in a flexible, cost effective manner.

Blackboard and our clients will reveal how this vision becomes reality through significant recent enhancements.

Our presentation concludes with your peek Behind the Blackboard – our extensive online client extranet to access client support, self-service tools, and company communication.

PERSONA - Galerie 3
PERSONA™ is an off-line electronic access control system designed to meet the unique security needs of educational facilities.

The PERSONA system utilizes both magnetic stripe and PIN code technologies for maximum protection. These unique dual system locks were designed by VingCard to solve a problem inherent with typical keycard systems. Although magstripe technology allows student/faculty ID cards to double as keycards for the locks, these cards usually include a name and/or photo, so the card can easily be associated with a housing facility, classroom or office. This creates a security concern whenever cards are lost or stolen. With VingCard

|PERSONA, the card is rendered useless without the corresponding PIN code needed to complete the unlocking process. Replacement cards can be issued quickly and inexpensively, eliminating the cost of changing locks or cylinders.
