4. Prepare for the future: Atrium's cloud-based infrastructure is designed to scale and adapt to the changing needs of our university. This upgrade lays the foundation for future improvements, such as the introduction of RebelCard on your smartphone, which will further enhance the convenience and flexibility of the RebelCard.

Ultimately, the system migration for RebelCard is a step forward in our ongoing efforts to create a more connected, efficient, and secure campus environment that creates the best experience for our faculty, staff and students.
