Campus Management, Ambassador College Bookstores announce partnership
Innovative systems integration to synergize Ambassador College's on-campus and online bookstore services with Campus Management's ERP

(Boca Raton, FL- June 22, 2005) – Campus Management Corporation and Ambassador College Bookstores announced today a technology partnership that enables traditional and online schools, colleges and universities to accelerate bookstore revenues, reduce administrative time and expense, and enhance student persistency rates. The integration leverages Ambassador’s state-of-the-art distribution facilities, connecting its SourceOne supply chain system to Campus Management’s Campus VueTM’s administrative suite for higher education.

By integrating in real time with the Campus PortalTM portal, available with the Campus Vue solution, Ambassador’s SourceOne system enables Campus Vue Users to expedite cash, credit and voucher transactions for books and supplies. The integration can be configured to alert admissions representatives should a student fail to register as expected.

“Any time a student has a change of address, enrolls in or change a course or purchases books, our systems will be talking to each other in real time,” stated Tim Gilbert, Vice President of Marketing at Campus Management. “If a student fails to register as expected for a given course, the school can choose to automatically alert the student and even their advisor by e-mail, which helps boost persistency.”


The partnership will focus on leveraging existing synergies between Campus Management’s Campus Vue software and Ambassador’s SourceOne application. Additionally, institution’s leveraging Campus Management’s student portal can elect to display require bookstore materials and trigger auto-fulfillment the instant the student registers for each course. The entire portal and fulfillment system features the institution’s graphical look and feel, making the portal seamless to the student.

“This is a real time interface that will serve up the right data at the right time“ states Gary Herald, President and CEO of Ambassador. “One of the primary benefits for the school is that student information is kept up to date across both systems, and we can link course enrollment with bookstore orders, fulfilling them at the time of registration to the student’s current address. Transactions get posted instantly to the student ledger, so accounting has an automated closed loop on cash or voucher transactions.
