GOLDEN, COL. - December
21, 2010 - XceedID, a leading manufacturer of contactless cards and readers,
announced that it will enter into a technology partnership with Vision Database
Systems (VDS), a supplier of ID issuance, management, and ID tracking solutions.
VDS has recently leveraged their development capabilities to integrate their
ID management program with XceedID's high security access control reader and
credential products. The partnership will let VDS customers pair open architecture
smart credentials and readers from XceedID with the ID issuance, management,
and tracking services offered by Vision Database Systems.
"XceedID is pleased
to announce a partnership with a veteran ID technology company like Vision
Database Systems, which brings nearly 20 years of ID industry experience to
the table," emphasizes John Menzel, XceedID director of business development.
"Their ability to interface with our smart credentials with an equal
level of security, utilizing various cryptographic techniques, really sets
them apart from the competition. By combining our high security open architecture
credentials with their system integration capabilities, we can provide solutions
that are much more secure and more flexible than others on the market. This
flexibility proves, once again, the importance of an open architecture system
over a proprietary credential solution."
"Given our history
in the ID Carding space, we are proud to be the first ID software solution
with inline encoding and decoding of the non-proprietary XceedID card, which
allows our customers to provide 21st Century security with an optimal ROI
but, most importantly, lets our customers control the destiny of their ID
card programs", declares Emil Bonaduce, president of Vision Database
Systems.
Over the last 15 years,
VDS has made IDMS ID carding software an open industry standard which interfaces
to most popular plastic printers and works well with access control systems,
library, food, and even some prominent proprietary campus software. It has
been instrumental with helping over 50 of the largest colleges in the United
States navigate from magnetic stripe cards to proximity cards and, now, to
popular smart card technologies, while keeping investments in their infrastructures
secure.
