One
Card applications
A One-Card solution is comprised of many different applications,
each offering a different service but all residing on a single identification
card. Once established, a true One-Card system will bring about
a revolution of unrealized benefits and services to the campus.
iCard remains unmatched in its ability to assist its clients
in creating these One-Card programs and details its experience in
the different One-Card applications below.
Traditional
ID Functions:
The initial function of any campus card program is the visual identification
of the cardholder. iCard's high quality color photographs,
printed identification numbers, and digitized signatures make this
the highest quality visual identification device available.
Library Identification:
To allow cardholders to access library services or check out materials,
the card is inserted into a special reader. The library number is
read and then automatically communicated to the campus library system.
No manual entry of library numbers is required and the existing
library software need not be modified or replaced.
Food Service/Mealplan:
iCard can integrate the card into an existing mealplan system
from any vendor, run an a la Carte plan using electronic cash technology,
or assist your school with finding the mealplan provider that best
fits your campus needs. With such diverse options, iCard's platform
offers the highest flexibility in food service management.
Building Security:
iCard can integrate the smart card into an existing security
system, help you identify a new provider of security technology,
or provide your campus with security components directly. From proximity
technology to hotel-style smart card door locks, iCard provides
your campus with security solutions to meet the needs of your changing
environment.
Banking Services:
iCard has worked with many banks across the country to provide
financial services to cardholders. Linking with a bank, the card
can serve as an ATM and debit card for use locally and even worldwide.
iCard can help your campus to identify a bank partner or can
work with the provider of your choice.
Credit Card Functionality:
Market an affinity credit card from your card office and your card
program becomes capable of providing a worldwide payment tool for
students. A number of campuses are finding significant amounts of
both student acceptance and revenue generation from such an offering
Calling Card/Telephony:
Adding calling card functionality and advanced telephony services
to the campus card increases the cards value to the student
while creating a revenue stream for the program. iCard can help
your campus identify a partner company or can work with your partner
of choice.
