Designed to meet and exceed the requirements of customers involved in concessionary travel schemes, bus and rail ticketing and other ticketing requirements.

The new product will be certified against the latest ITSO Specification version and be available to customers in the summer. It can be provided as a software product under licence, or as a fully managed outsourced service, with a full range of service levels.

Commenting on the announcement, Project Manager Brian McGuiness said: "Ecebs has always been at the forefront of the development of ITSO technology.

We designed and built the ISAM, the ITSO Security Management System and had the first HOPS/AMS accredited by ITSO. In addition we have provided systems that have commissioned thousands of ISAMs with a capacity in hundreds per day." He continued "We are now harnessing that innovation and large volume experience, together with our inherent security capability, to produce this next generation ITSO HOPS / AMS product. It is designed to provide the large scale ITSO deployment and management capability demanded in the next phases of ITSO."

Customers and Partners will also be able to utilise the product alongside Ecebs Multefile™ technology to bring transport solutions complete with a whole range of other applications.
