The new technology partnership will enable any organization or Government agency to enhance efficiency, increase security and reduce costs by consolidating multiple identity and security credentials onto a single device which enables employees to securely access both physical and logical resources. The partnership betwen the provider of physical security management systems and the manufacturer of Magicard secure ID card printers was signed today. The Intercede's MyID® smart card and identity management system and Hirsch's Velocity physical access control system (PACS) and Magicard printers will enable Physical/Logical access convergence.
The Physical/Logical interoperability will be demonstrated at ISC West in Las Vegas on March 28 - 30, 2007, in booth #26049.
The pre-configured card, credential and identity management solution, named MyID PIV, provides both 'out-of-the-box' PIV card issuance and management capabilities along with a highly flexible and configurable integration platform for existing services, applications and processes. MyID PIV provides cardholder registration and complete PIV card lifecycle management that is integrated with a variety of document, photo and biometric capture devices, card printing and production solutions, PIV II certified smart cards, PKI certificate providers and identity management systems. Each function within the MyID issuance process may use existing product features, or utilize external applications as appropriate.
Richard Parris, Intercede Chairman and CEO, stated: "MyID is a recognized leader in the smart card and identity management market and we continue to strengthen that position by adding interoperability with leading physical access solution providers and other security technology vendors. We are extremely pleased to be working closely with leading physical access vendors such as Hirsch and leading card printer manufacturers such as Magicard to bring innovative and compelling identity solutions to the global market place." The Velocity Security Management System is a software for access control and security operations. It offers a seamless integration of door control, alarm monitoring, credential enrollment, photo badging, video, dynamic graphics, database management and tutorials yields an easy to use and easy to install system suitable for a single door or an enterprise. Velocity is one of the first systems to utilize FIPS 201 PIV II smart cards in a physical access control system. The software, along with the latest shipping controller firmware and universal reader interface can read the CHUID/FASC-N number on a PIV II card presented to either a contactless or contact reader.
