Intercede Launches MyID 8 Identity and Credential Management System
Intercede's MyID 8 wows partners and customers at US product launch: The world's first IDentity and Credential Management System (IDCMS).
Reston, VA (PRWEB) June 4, 2008
Intercede Group plc (London Stock Exchange AIM: IGP), a leading developer and supplier of IDentity and Credential Management software, today announced the launch of MyID 8 at a major event in Reston, Virginia. A large audience of Intercede customers and partners experienced first hand why MyID has been chosen by the US Federal Government to deploy over one million MyID licenses.
"The world of identity and credential management has today become a safer, simpler place with the launch of the first commercial off-the-shelf, fully integrated IDCMS platform. MyID 8 changes the paradigm for how governments and commercial organizations deliver secure identities and associated credentials to citizens and employees," said Richard Parris, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Intercede. "Using MyID 8, customers can deploy small, large and very large scale identity projects quicker, with less risk and at significantly lower cost than has previously been possible. No longer will projects be subject to compromise, delay or failure due to the difficulties of integrating products from multiple suppliers.
Additionally, with only one system to manage, the operational return on investment (ROI) is enhanced for end customers. Systems Integrators can add value to customers faster by using MyID 8's workbench of integration tools to quickly build a sustainable and repeatable knowledge base that can be leveraged across many projects".
Intercede's MyID takes ID card management to a new level by integrating Secure Workflows, Technology Orchestration, an Integrator's Workbench and Scaleability (WOWS) into a single system. MyID 8 is highly flexible: far more than a basic Identity or Card Management System. It is a customizable, functionally-rich comprehensive environment for managing people, enforcing policies and enabling processes. Through every stage of the identity lifecycle - registration, identity verification, device and credential issuance and post-issuance management - MyID delivers complete control and meets the demands of today's security conscious organizations.
What's new in MyID 8?
Enhanced registration: including support for capturing facial biometrics, fingerprints, and document scanning. Built-in identity verification: integrated with identity background checking and biometric verification services. Simplified physical and logical access convergence: made easy through standard physical access system connectors and centralized ID access rights control. Plus… an enhanced user interface and additional supported devices, printers and systems.
MyID 8 - The WOW factors!
Workflow - Flexible identity policy configuration with secure workflows that walk you step-by-step through all enrolment, issuance and management activities. Orchestration - MyID integrates multiple security technologies and systems, and efficiently manages information flows between them. Workbench - The MyID toolkit provides all the API's, documentation, sample code and training necessary to quickly integrate MyID into existing environments. Scaleability - MyID is used around the world in ID deployments ranging from hundreds to millions of users.
