Case Study: Stanford University streamlines secure online registration and payments with Certain Meetings

Stanford University: Streamlining Secure Online Registration and Payments

Stanford University, a leading research institution, needed to unify the online registration and payment systems for its 38 diverse departments. Each department was using its own separate PayPal account, making it impossible to track overall spending and manage events efficiently. They required a single, secure platform to consolidate these processes and turned to Certain for a solution.

Certain implemented its Certain Meetings platform, providing a unified online registration system that consolidated the university's many departments. The solution streamlined multiple payment accounts, minimized payment exposure through strong security compliance, and provided comprehensive custom reporting. As a result, Stanford easily adhered to stringent payment card industry standards and, within the first year, over 40 departments used the system for more than 60 events, generating significant revenue.
