GOLDEN, CO
- June 23, 2010 - XceedID, a leading manufacturer of contactless credentials
and readers, and idOnDemand, pioneers in smart identification, are partnering
to offer a joint solution that consolidates a user's identity across the enterprise.
This solution provides customers with the ability to migrate to credentials
that can satisfy both physical access control (building) and logical access
control (computer network), through a cloud based model, using a single, multipurpose
corporate badge.
For the first
time, small to medium sized businesses will be able to take advantage of standards-based
security across the enterprise without the business risk of creating a complex
infrastructure or experiencing upfront capital costs. Paired with XceedID's
pioneering multi-technology readers, customers can obtain a robust credential
that allows seamless transition away from legacy technologies to higher security
open standards that are compatible with recent U.S. government initiatives
such as FIPS 201.
"The
partnership with idOnDemand enables true convergence of building and IT assets,
providing users with a single globally-trusted identity for buildings, computers
and the cloud," reports John Menzel, director of business development
for XceedID. "This partnership helps provide the convergence solutions
that our customers are requesting."
"XceedID
shares a similar vision of making secure identity solutions more accessible
and simple to deploy and manage," affirms Jason Hart, chief executive
officer of idOnDemand. "Our customers are asking for solutions that enable
convergence and upgrading to the latest physical security systems. With the
XceedID solution, this is now possible."
