FreeZone. It's a goal for better business through automated, integrated, and secure campus commerce. Free from worries about PCI compliance. Free from concerns about operational efficiencies. Free of pressures from budget or resource constraints. FreeZone is PCI-Free; Paper-Free; and Hassle-Free!

PCI-Free
Most institutions will change the way they do business this year. The focus for payment industry compliance is shifting from large payment gateways to individual merchants and the systems they use. Most colleges and universities already have campus entities that are merchants with signed merchant agreements in place.

Those institutions that are not yet in compliance with payment industry requirements will want to accelerate their efforts to achieve improved information security. The spotlight of PCI scrutiny is shining brightly on Higher Education. From February 2005 to May 2006, more than one-third of major information security breaches occurred in Higher Education. PCI compliance can reduce the risk to both an institution's bottom line and its reputation.

TouchNet can help you reduce worries about information security; we can help you be PCI-Free.

Paper-Free
It is not enough to focus exclusively on information security. Campuses also must find ways to streamline business operations. Saving time and money and boosting operational efficiencies not only helps the Business Office meet budget and resource guidelines, but also helps the institution manage annual increases in student tuition and thereby be more competitive.

Paper handling - printing, mailing, storing, retrieving, copying, reconciling, or just plain filing - is one of the biggest impediments to streamlining business operations. Automate manual paper processes and you eliminate costs and overhead. You do more with less. You give staff more time to invest in solving the problems that only a person can solve.

TouchNet can help your campus be Paper-Free.

Hassle-Free
Upgrading campus commerce systems can be hard work. It requires skills, resources, products, and services that your campus may not be able to provide at the time it they are needed. TouchNet steps up to the plate in these circumstances, too. We offer a wide range of campus commerce services to make it easy for you to achieve your goals.

TouchNet can help you from implementation project support, to PCI-compliant hosting services, to managed services that leverage our patent-pending Seek-N-Secure technology to help you identify and remediate highly sensitive information stored in data files on campus computers and networks.

TouchNet helps you achieve your campus commerce goals by making the effort Hassle-Free.
