Limits w/ Power Park • Gaps • Limited permit configuration • Basic customer classification • No customization • No gate access integration • No hosting option • ASU IT Resources • Maintenance and Support • Vendor increased support costs by 50 % in 2008 • No further development of Power Park • Outdated technology
T2 Flex • Developed in 2004 • Web based technology • New and Expanded Features • Permit configuration module, customer class options, • Access and Revenue Control - Integrated solutions with gate access software • Event Management • Property/Asset Management • Enhanced reporting tools • Interface Capabilities

Summary • Current requests are being denied due to various resource intensive programming limitations. • Completing the proposed migration and putting the burden of the hosted application in the hands of the vendor allows ASU to continue improving services that we offer by accommodating customer requests and expectations. • If the migration is not completed, the ability to meet the technological advances and demands for support will remain limited.
