CARMEL, IN - April
8, 2010 - Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies, a leading global provider
of security and safety solutions and manufacturer of Schlage contactless credentials
and readers, and Heartland Campus Solutions, a leading provider of campus
card solutions, are partnering to offer next-generation contactless applications
for the campus OneCard market.
The offering
by Schlage and Heartland provides customers with a more open and secure contactless
solution than other campus card products. The system offers a complete array
of campus applications — from access control and cafeteria point-of-sale
(POS) services to library, parking, event handling and more — with added
security and the convenience of contactless smart credential technologies.
"We
are excited about our relationship with Heartland," relates John Menzel,
director of business development for Schlage. "By combining the openness
and security of our contactless smart credentials with a myriad of campus
applications, we can provide customers with more contactless applications
and add value to the proprietary systems currently in the marketplace."
"Schlage
is a leader in the credential space and, with its innovative credential and
reader offering, we can offer customers an even more powerful, robust and
secure solution," avows Fred Emery, vice president and general manager
of Heartland Campus Solutions.
