Entrust Datacard and Blackboard Partner to Enhance the ID Card Issuance Process
Blackboard (News - Alert), a global leader in education technology, and Entrust
Datacard, a leading provider of trusted identity and secure transaction
technology solutions, today announced the launch of the Datacard®
TruCredential Blackboard edition software suite - an easy solution for
creating, issuing and managing student IDs and credentials. This new
integration between Datacard TruCredential and the Blackboard
Transaction System empowers institutions to meet a wide range of
application requirements, from basic photo IDs to high-assurance
credentials.
With the browser-based TruCredential suite, Blackboard Transaction
System users will be able to easily scale from a single workstation or
user to a multi-workstation application with more functionality. Other
advantages of TruCredential software include:
-
Easy-to-use: As a browser-based software, institutions are able
to use TruCredential anytime, anywhere. Operators can design new ID
cards quickly with intuitive, drag-and-drop design templates and
workflows. Or, migration templates allow for the smooth transition of
designs from ID Works® identification software into TruCredential.
-
Configurable: Institutions are able to create custom design
templates and workflows to meet their specific needs. Operators can
then work independently with these established templates and process
flows. Institutions can also create unique user profiles to enhance
the security of their programs and give appropriate access to the
right people.
-
Easy-to-Deploy: Institutions can install and license on a
single server, then remotely deploy and manage users and data.
-
Enhanced Features: Pre-built smart card configurations are
available and eay to set up through the user interface. Institutions
can keep track of their issuance programs with comprehensive reporting.
-
Part of a complete solution: TruCredential software is
engineered to work as part of an integrated system with Datacard®
printers, supplies and support.
-
Compatible with the latest technology: All editions of
TruCredential software work with the latest technology, including
Google (News - Alert) Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Windows 10, Windows Server, SQL Server,
Oracle, Active Directory Systems and RESTful Web Services.
