Education Management Systems, Inc. Integrates M2SYS
Fingerprint Software into School Lunch Line POS and Financial Software
Leading Provider of Software and Services for the Administrative
Management of K-12 Education to Provide School Customers with Powerful
Fingerprint Biometrics Software for Student Identification
Atlanta, April 12, 2006 – M2SYS Technology, a biometric technology
research and development company, announced today it has finalized a
long-term agreement with Education Management Systems, Inc. (EMS), a
leading provider of school nutrition and financial software to the K-12
market. This agreement will benefit school customers by enabling EMS to
integrate and distribute M2SYS’ leading edge fingerprint software
technology within the ISIS(TM) financial administration and Meals Plus+(TM)
lunch line POS solutions. The integrated fingerprint software is now
available to EMS’ established customer base of more than 3,000 schools
across the country.
“When M2SYS first approached us with the concept of integrating their
fingerprint system, we were a bit skeptical of how easy they claimed it
would be and were unsure whether customer demand would be significant
enough to offset a huge development effort,” recalled Ben Hooks, CEO of
Education Management Systems, Inc. “However, once we agreed to test their
system, we realized the integration methodology was exactly as advertised
– simple, fast, and without headache. This was a significant advantage
over other fingerprint SDKs we had been evaluating. And as we began
talking to our customers about the system, we saw an enormous and growing
demand for fingerprint technology in the education industry. The M2SYS
approach has enabled us to immediately begin capitalizing on this while
providing a valuable product addition for our customers.”
The EMS ISIS(TM) solution contains several modules enabling schools to
centrally manage and control all financial information. The Fixed Assets
module is designed to assist schools with their fiduciary role of tracking
fixed assets, including acquisitions, retirements, transfers, and
improvements. General Ledger is the foundation of a financial package that
is designed to integrate Accounts Payable, Purchasing, Payroll, Fixed
Assets, Warehousing, and Child Nutrition into one comprehensive
administrative package. Payroll is designed specifically to meet the
demands of the K-12 school environment while maintaining user flexibility
and ease of use.
EMS Meals Plus+(TM) is a complete, windows-based school cafeteria software
solution developed exclusively for the K-12 environment. The Meals Plus
suite is comprised of management modules encompassing front to back of the
house including: Point of Sale with accountability and participation
reporting, Free & Reduced application processing, Meal Application
Scanning, internet meal payments, inventory ordering & management,
commodity allocation, bid analysis, menu planning, nutrition analysis,
production records, district office communications & integration.
“Not only does M2SYS bring an innovative approach to integrating
fingerprint software, they have also provided exceptional employee and
customer education that have helped our sales and marketing initiatives
launch as quickly as possible,” added Hooks. “Customers are first using
the system to help control nutritional administrative costs, speed
transactions, and eliminate PINs and swipe cards by identifying students
in the lunch line with a single fingerprint scan. We already have
customers interested in utilizing the system with other areas of our
software, such as time and attendance.”
Bio-Plugin(TM) enables software companies to quickly integrate a complete,
seamless fingerprint recognition system, including a high-performance 1:N
identification engine. Bio-Plugin(TM) eliminates the system dependencies,
extensive development, and specialized knowledge of biometric complexities
inherent to fingerprint SDKs. This enables software companies to remain
focused on their core products, while establishing a new revenue channel
with the addition of an integrated biometric component.
“The agreement between Education Management Systems and M2SYS continues to
demonstrate the effectiveness of our patented integration technology, and
once again confirms the M2SYS fingerprint software is the solution of
choice for industry leading software providers,” commented Mizan Rahman,
CEO and Chief Scientist/Engineer of M2SYS. “By using Bio-Plugin(TM), EMS
saved considerable development time, enabling them to rapidly deploy a
first-class fingerprint software system, while remaining focused on their
core applications. Additionally, EMS is gaining a long-term technology
partner in M2SYS that is focused on continually providing unparalleled,
cutting-edge biometric solutions.”
