Employee Credential Management Systems Go Online

Vienna, Austria (July 6, 2006) - vps Video Print Systeme, a leading European supplier of professional IT solutions for identity management, announces the launch of its leading-edge web-based employee credential management solution.

Identity and Card Management System (icms) is a flexible, scalable and customizable system designed to manage large populations of chip-based employee credentials. The solution was developed by vps to meet the needs of large and small enterprises that have identified the changing role of corporate ID cards from pure access control and time & attendance credentials to important daily business tools for their employees.

Today, employee ID cards enable workers to pay at the canteen, refuel their vehicles, access lockers and parking facilities, logon to computers and networks, and digitally sign documents. This is why vps has developed an open-architecture identity management solution that interfaces with a wide range of systems and serves as the information hub for all card-related applications.

Completely web-based, icms can be securely accessed via browser by authorized users anywhere in the world to create new employee cards and manage their lifecycles. Configurable interfaces are available to connect icms to different data sources such as corporate directories and employee databases. Integrated management of cards featuring biometric identification, digital signature and PKI capabilities further extends the scope of icms.
