How Universities Can Enhance the Campus Experience

As the use of mobile devices continues to increase each year, so too does the need for universities to create a convenient and seamless experience for their students and alumni.

Students are using their smart phones and wearables to store their university IDs and efficiently benefit from all the services offered by their campus: they can access their school facilities, enjoy the cafeteria, use the printing terminals, borrow books at the library and much more.

A variety of services covering almost all aspects of campus life is easily accessible from students’ mobile wallets. Discover key trends in mobile wallets and how universities can use the technology to streamline security and create a better campus experience.
