Talis is delighted to announce that Queen’s University Belfast is now live with e-payments through Talis Keystone.

The 25,000 students at one of the largest Universities in the UK are now able to pay their library charges online using either debit or credit cards, enabling further efficiency savings for library staff and improving student services. As an increasing number of Queen’s students access library resources and services off campus, delivering e-payment services was a high priority, and Talis Keystone was just the solution.

The Library has worked closely with Talis in recent months to be the first to integrate its library management system with the internet payment solution WorldPay, having already worked with Talis to successfully integrate library services into their campus portal.

Jane O’Neill, Library Systems Manager at Queen’s University Belfast commented "Talis Keystone was easy to implement giving both the library and IT staff the confidence to explore further integration projects such as e-payments. Students now have real choice going beyond cheques, cash and Smartcards at the service desk. We had no hesitation in working with Talis to support this venture."

Paddy Daly, Portal Development Manager at Queen’s University Belfast described the integration work with Talis as "Seamless and painless and it will no doubt be of great value to our students."

Focused on generating back-office efficiencies and transforming end-user services, Talis Keystone enables you to integrate library management systems with other systems such as portals, Web sites, payment engines, finance and CRM systems. Today, over 15 Universities and Councils have dramatically improved their service delivery and staff workflows by implementing Talis Keystone.
