Company

Starting out in 2003 as GBCblue and renaming itself Ascension Software in June of 2011, Ascension continues to mature and enhance its Client Manager Kiosk management software (Cm3), now in its third version. Cm3 gives users of public space computing systems the peace of mind knowing that their personal information is protected by the most robust security software available. Now processing over 10 million unique sessions a year, and in the 8 years since its inception, Ascension Software has never received a report of a lost or stolen identity. Capitalizing on its vast experience in hospitality, Ascension Software amazed the industry with ORION, a web and mobile e-commerce platform designed to utilize the guest’s own internet based devices to deliver any product and service the hotel offers in an elegant and easy to use, fully branded guest experience.
