Entrust Corporation announced a technology alliance partnership with NEDAP to deliver interoperability between credential issuance and ID program management capabilities. Managing physical access for people, visitors and assets is complex and ever-evolving. Organizations seek access control programs that can provide both credential issuance and access management capabilities, but find that they need to manage multiple vendors and solutions that do not communicate with each other.

With this technology alliance, customers can now use the Entrust ID issuance solution in concert with NEDAP AEOS for a complete all-in-one card design, issuance and management system. NEDAP AEOS is an access control platform that connects physical locks, lockers, readers and additional devices to enhance the flow of people safely and securely through the clients' facilities. Entrust Instant ID Issuance is a flexible software solution that integrates with NEDAP AEOS access control software to deliver an easy-to-use ID card design, issuance and management solution that provides: Distributed capture, enrollment and printing; Smart card encoding card issuance; Simple drag-and-drop card designer; Service-based installation for scalability for one to multiple printer and site deployments.
