Ithaca, New York: The CBORD Group, Inc. is pleased to announce that Texas A&M University in College Station, TX recently selected the company as its food service management technology provider. Texas A&M converted to the Foodservice Suite® modular software package on account of its flexible integration capabilities, user-friendly design, and superior client support.
