CS Gold is a powerful, modular campus card and security management solution that integrates seemingly disparate auxiliary services with ease. Its comprehensive range of functionality includes meal plans, stored value and credit, access control, alarm management, entitlements tracking, card production, online functionality, integrated video, targeted notifications, and more. Version 6 makes it easier than ever for colleges to manage campus card operations ranging from dining to access, and from alarm management to on- and off-campus purchasing.

"If you are a Systems Administrator, upgrading to Gold 6 is a must," says Nathan Gray, System Administrator, James Madison University. "An updated OS, newer version of Oracle (11g), running CS Gold as a service, being able to use Batch Queue from your local desktop, and enhanced alarms management/setup are just some of the features that will make your life a little easier. If you are a manager or director, you can rest easy knowing that your Gold system is running current software."
