New Multilingual Capabilities Speak Volumes for vps' Card Management System


Ettlingen, Germany (November 17, 2006) - vps ID Systeme GmbH, a leading European supplier of professional IT solutions for identity management, today announces that it has transformed its Identity and Card Management System (icms) into the first truly multi-lingual credential management solution available on the market. vps' web-based software can now be installed in any organization worldwide, interfacing in any number of languages.

"vps has upgraded icms enabling it to be customized to operate in any number of languages. This is particularly relevant to multinational organizations that can now implement our system to operate in the languages used by its personnel in different countries," comments Karlheinz Bold, vps' Director Sales & Marketing. "icms can be expanded to include new languages when needed. The language portfolio is continually being developed and already includes English, French, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Arabic and a simplified version of Chinese. In fact, our system is a unique ID management solution that offers the flexibility required in the fluid scenario of multinational businesses."

vps' icms was first launched in 2004 as a web-based card management solution featuring an open architecture that allows it to interface with a wide range of systems and to serve as the information hub for all card related applications. Authorized staff can securely access their company's identity and card management system, from anywhere in the world, to activate, deactivate and change the privileges associated with any card. Interfaces have also been designed to connect the system to different data sources, such as corporate directories and employee databases. Integrated biometric identification, digital signature and PKI capabilities also extend the scope of the system.
