CBORD Donates Software and Services to Penn State

For Immediate Release

Ithaca, New York—The CBORD Group, Inc. is pleased to announce a major donation of software and services to The Pennsylvania State University School of Hotel, Restaurant and Recreation Management. The gift from CBORD, a food and nutrition services software provider based in Ithaca, NY, includes their latest software for menu planning and forecasting, inventory management, nutritional analysis, and catering management.

"It's exciting to us that our products are an integral part of the course curriculum at Penn State, both in the classroom and online through The World Campus," said CBORD President John Alexander. "We're delighted to provide Penn State students with access to some of the most powerful management tools available to the hospitality industry today."

CBORD's long-standing affiliation with the school began with a gift of their DOS-based Menu Management, Inventory Management, and Nutritional Accounting Systems. These systems will now be replaced by new versions for the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. To allow students and faculty full access and use of the software through their existing network, CBORD will also provide twenty-five concurrent user access licenses.

Two of CBORD's major business partners have made gifts to Penn State as well. Sybase, Inc., the manufacturer of the database management system used by the new CBORD products, donated two server licenses and thirty workstation licenses required for the use of the new software. In addition, Snow Software donated a license for twenty-five concurrent users for the report writer embedded within the CBORD catering product.

Finally, to ensure the proper implementation of all these new systems, CBORD will provide five days of onsite services for training staff and faculty in the use of these new software products.
