On-Demand Webinar

As universities look to improve their students’ on-and off-campus experience, they are finding that they need to simplify the management of a single student’s information (e.g., secure identification, door and building access, on-campus vending machines, banking needs, etc.). As a result, many higher education institutions are exploring single, contactless card systems that would replace less secure magnetic stripe (“magstripe”) or barcode IDs but they often find they need help in identifying the best solution that will grow with the needs of their students over time.

During this webinar, Nils Wahlander, HID’s Senior Product Marketing Manager and industry expert, provided key information on making the switch from magnetic stripe cards to a single, contactless card solution. Register now and discover how to:

• Use a single, multi-tasking card for secure student identification, access control, and management of student programs, such as tracking attendance or facilities access
  
• Generate revenue for your organization by enabling your smart-card solution to incorporate dozens of campus life offerings with convenient cashless payments, as well as off-campus fee-based merchant programs
  
• Improve security for your students, staff and campus visitors by inhibiting student ID fraud and cloning of campus credentials
  
• Easily integrate fully interoperable smart-card solutions with the systems you already have in place, while enabling future expansion of your system capabilities
