GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 9, 2010 — Off Campus Solutions, Inc. and NuVision Networks (CA) recently announced a partnership to increase the community experience for students and to expand dining-service options while creating additional revenue for campus clients.
This agreement makes Off Campus Solutions the exclusive provider of off campus commerce programs for institutions that utilize NuVision Networks as their “One Card” transaction system. The new partners have teamed up to provide highly customized programs, such as multiple accounts on a single card.
“This partnership is an excellent opportunity for NuVision to expand the services we offer to our existing and prospective customers,” said Bill Adoff, president of NuVision Networks. “We see many schools that are hesitant to implement an off-campus program simply due to a lack of time or personnel. Off Campus Solutions provides a solution that uses little resources from the college, yet creates a significant impact on student life and town and gown relationships.”
An off-campus program utilizes a declining balance account associated with the school’s identification card and allows customers and cardholders to make purchases at participating off-campus merchants, in addition to the existing on-campus capabilities of the card.
“We believe that in order to provide a quality off campus commerce program, it needs to reside with on-campus dining and our new partnership provides that important link,” added Monte Pedersen, president of Off Campus Solutions. “NuVision Networks stands out because of its cost structure and innovative technological solutions and together, we can continue to expand services to increase client satisfaction.”
