At times in our fast paced world, technology and customer service appear to be mutually exclusive. The more things are touted to improve the more difficult it is to find satisfaction. With CI Solutions, you get the technology while also working with a customer focused organization. Mark Cole and his father, Bill, created a company to service customers with the highest regard for integrity while combining the amazing developments of card technology.

ID Cards Expanded to Full College-Wide Use

CI Solutions has developed software to integrate the issuance, tracking and verification of secure identification credentials. From a student ID card for library use to a multi-technology credential for access control, food service, debit, lab attendance, tutoring center, fitness check-in and more, CI has the experience and integrated products and services to make college campuses more efficient.

CI Solutions offers easy card issuance with our CI Badge software system, electronic tracking of student’s time in labs and other locations on campus with our CI Track software, and secure access to buildings and offices with our CI Verify access control solution.

With over 20 years of experience and more than 70% of the current California Community Colleges as customers, CI has proven to be a strong partner. Our recent commitment to a new platform for CI Track and integrated access control continues to expand our capabilities to meet the “one card” model that many organizations desire.
