The Re-Badging Project: Completing the Task Smoothly and Quickly

Secure identity needs are ever present, but demand for ID badges and encoding is not always steady.

In my regular discussions with security professionals, it is clear to me that the need for secure identity is ever present, but the on-going demand for ID badges and encoding is not always steady. Acquisitions and mergers, technology migration/upgrade, regulatory compliance, or even refreshing corporate identity and logos may put an undue strain on everyday badging and encoding capabilities. Large-scale badging projects may create a significant burden on existing security equipment and resources.

Identity on Demand adds value by taking on those large re-badging jobs and quickly producing secure customized photo ID cards—handling everything from design to encoding to the delivery of high quality full-color cards to one or more locations worldwide. We work closely with every customer to produce a customized plan that is quick and complete.

One of the advantages of using Identity on Demand as your card service bureau is that we completely project manage the re-badging task from start to finish. It doesn’t matter if you need 1000 simple ID badges or 15,000 smart cards with enhanced internal or visual security—we make it very easy, convenient, and quick.

We also provide a variety of database management functions, from consolidating multiple databases to applying different rules depending on specific access rights. Credentials can be created for a specific technology, or a variety of technologies to meet custom application requirements. HID’s secure facilities and rigorous process controls let us meet and exceed the highest security standards.

Identity on Demand offers design resources that are more robust than what are typically included in most business badging software programs. We can also provide several surface and sub-surface features for a truly custom and secure product. After printing and encoding we will ensure secure delivery anywhere in the world.

If your organization will be experiencing significant change within the next 6-12 months, I’d like to invite you to an upcoming webinar, Managing a Re-Badging Project: A Recipe for Success. In the webinar, I will be discussing more about the practical and economic advantages of using a card service bureau.

Using a case study format, webinar attendees will hear Albert Einstein Healthcare Network’s Russell Jones present considerations he had to make to undertake the production and delivery of new contactless iCLASS® ID badges, professionally managed by HID Global’s Identity on Demand (IoD) Services Get action-oriented advice on how to produce secure credentials efficiently and quickly. We’ll also share perspectives on how to evaluate costs for allocating resources, maintenance and down time, training, and keeping stock on hand as well as discuss how to avoid the common mistakes made during large re-badging projects, and what to do when deadlines are very tight.
