There is another unique component that can be optionally added, which is a credit card terminal for fine payment. EnvisionWare partnered with Polaris on the unique development of several protocols to enhance public service. These include an itemized fine protocol, support for an integral ILS deposit account which can be used for fine payment, scanning, faxing, copying, and printing, and a workflow automation system that integrates our Library Point of Sale system with Polaris. In fact, EnvisionWare provides Polaris Enterprise eCommerce, the replacement for Polaris' discontinued eCommerce offerings. Our credit card terminals integrate directly into the staff client. We can deposit funds into Polaris and draw from those funds. Our online system integrates seamlessly into the Polaris PAC. And for the 24 -Hour library, the system provides integrated, self-service fine payment to remove blocks for past due patrons. The only company making a free-standing self-service library that also offers an eCommerce system that integrates into Polaris PAC and staff stations and who is a strategic Innovative partner is Envision Ware. There is no other system like the 24 -Hour Library in the United States, except at those libraries where we have installed these systems. Aside from the combination of services and features described above, the architecture of the system has been developed over years of research to provide the most reliable platform that requires the least sophistication for ongoing service. And the low power design fits the needs of institutions that strive for green initiatives. The system requires only a covering to prevent direct rain over the system and users, a single 120V 20amp electrical out/et/service, an R1-45 Ethernet connection, and a SIP2 connection to your Integrated Library System. Even our service offerings are unique. All services for planning, installation and training are provided by EnvisionWare employees — we do not outsource these services to third parties. This means we control the complete customer experience. EnvisionWare experts will guide staff through the process from start to finish, describing the similarities and differences between this system and a traditional physical location. Our library experts will help you to adapt policies, interface to your Integrated Library System, and ensure that your staff is comfortable with the differences between a traditional library and a 24 -Hour Library. All systems arrive from the factory into our Columbus Technology Center where they undergo an extensive second layer of Quality Assurance. Systems are configured for the requirements of your Library and full tested with your settings before being prepared for shipment to your site. The system will arrive onsite on a designated Monday — ready to run. It will be operational on Tuesday and ready for staff training on Wednesday. We are onsite at the beginning, when a staff trainer provides the initial orientation and again for any logistics issues, then a team arrives for the installation. All members of the team have experience installing these systems so there are no surprises. When it's 60
