The launch of MyID 8 at a major event in Reston, Virginia has been announced by a leading developer and supplier of IDentity and Credential Management software, Intercede Group plc. Why MyID has been chosen by the US Federal Government to deploy over one million MyID licenses has been experienced first hand by a large audience of Intercede customers and partners.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Intercede, Richard Parris, declared: "The world of identity and credential management has today become a safer, simpler place with the launch of the first commercial off-the-shelf, fully integrated IDCMS platform. MyID 8 changes the paradigm for how governments and commercial organizations deliver secure identities and associated credentials to citizens and employees." "Using MyID 8, customers can deploy small, large and very large scale identity projects quicker, with less risk and at significantly lower cost than has previously been possible. No longer will projects be subject to compromise, delay or failure due to the difficulties of integrating products from multiple suppliers.

The operational return on investment (ROI), with only one system to manage, is enhanced for end customers. By using MyID 8's workbench of integration tools to quickly build a sustainable and repeatable knowledge base that can be leveraged across many projects, Systems Integrators can add value to customers faster.

By integrating Technology Orchestration, Secure Workflows, an Integrator's Workbench and Scaleability (WOWS) into a single system, Intercede's MyID takes ID card management to a new level. Far more than a basic Identity or Card Management System, MyID 8 is highly flexible. It is a customizable, functionally-rich comprehensive environment for enforcing policies, managing people and enabling processes. MyID delivers, through every stage of the identity lifecycle, identity verification, registration, device and credential issuance and post-issuance management, complete control and meets the demands of today's security conscious organizations.
