• Marketing Director

  • Mar 2012 - Present

  As the Marketing Director and co-owner of Atrium campus card systems, I knew it was important to start with a simple question: What do campus card directors and administrators need in a modern card system? What would make your life easier? What would save you money, but still provide a better experience for your students? We formed a Customer Advisory Board, including card administrators and industry leaders, from institutions large and small, and engaged them in discussion. They told us they wanted an intuitive user interface, accessible anywhere, anytime. They asked for robust reporting, with point and click tools. They sought security, 100% availability and personal service from seasoned card industry professionals. They were under pressure to do more for less, and provide an improved experience for students. We came up with a campus card management solution with the functionality of traditional systems… re-imagined for the future. Atrium was born. Show less
