Entrust Datacard to Present at Upcoming HIMSS Virtual Briefing

Industry experts to discuss best practices in mobile device privacy and security in healthcare, HIPAA compliant smart card technology adoption, as well as the role of mobile in creating trusted identities.

MINNEAPOLIS—(Sept. 16, 2015)—Entrust Datacard today announced that it will sponsor and participate in a virtual briefing, "Going Mobile and Getting Smart: Access Patient Information Securely with Trusted Identities," on Wed. Sept. 16, 2015. The briefing is hosted by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), a global, cause-based, not-for-profit organization focused on better health through information technology.

Mike Byrnes, senior product manager at Entrust Datacard, will present a session titled "Enabling Digital Healthcare with Trusted Identities." The presentation will explore various topics surrounding the role of mobile in creating more secure, more convenient, multi-purpose trusted identities within a healthcare enterprise and explores a variety of use cases where mobile can be used as healthcare companies look to becoming a password-less enterprise.

"As more and more healthcare organizations move to using digital identities across a variety of functions – administration, patient care, research or payments – it has become increasingly important to ensure that those identities are trusted and secure, whether patient, provider or other," said Byrnes. "By providing tools that help healthcare organizations move towards the next generation of trusted identities, we are helping them to not only increase productivity and drive business process improvement, but more importantly, we are helping them to improve the patient care experience."

Today's organizations require the ability to properly authenticate individuals accessing networks and applications to protect from the theft or altering of sensitive information. Entrust Datacard works with thousands of organizations to authenticate and protect critical information -- combining the security and convenience of mobile devices.

Healthcare customers have been asking for it, and DKC Associates is happy to announce a new option for custom Badge Buddies: clear custom Badge Buddies are now available in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

Why clear Badge Buddies?

In many areas, healthcare ID badges are required by law to be facing front at all times, making flipped ID cards a problem. To be compliant, organizations print the same information on both sides of an ID card.

With clear Badge Buddies, the information printed on the card will always be visible, whether the card is flipped or facing front.

• The minimum order quantity is 250 Badge Buddies.

• Clear Badge Buddies are only available as custom products; no stock options are available.

• The custom title can be printed on one or both sides.

Entrust Datacard Announces the Release of Enhanced Datacard® TruCredential™ Suite Software for Secure Identification Card Issuance

The updated Datacard® TruCredential™ Suite Software provides users with a turnkey solution to design, issue and manage secure credentials.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.—(Sept. 15, 2015)—Entrust Datacard today announced the most recent release of the Datacard® TruCredential™ Suite Software, version 7.1. TruCredential software is used to issue a variety of credentials such as student, faculty or visitor IDs; employee or contract badges; patient and staff healthcare IDs; credentials for local government programs; membership and customer loyalty cards; and transit passes.

The previously released TruCredential Software was developed by integrating existing Datacard global software credentialing products into one modernized platform and the 7.1 upgrade continues to optimize the software with enhancements that provide for easier set-up configuration, which include:

• Additional pre-built workflows for enrollment, credential issuance, and credential management. The pre-built workflows save users time by eliminating the need to create their own workflows and allows them to quickly be up and running with limited support from in-house technology resources.
• Integrated smart card personalization support. Users now have access to pre-built encoding support for leading smart cards, making card personalization and troubleshooting easier.
• Updated data and enrollment capture capabilities for capturing physical and logical cardholder data, which allows for more easily establishing a trusted identity.

“For most organizations, the ability to positively identify employees, students and visitors serves as the foundation for effective physical security – which requires a flexible, web-based, secure credential solution,” said Ryan Zlockie, vice president of software product management for Entrust Datacard. “We are pleased to offer a complete software suite that can support both desktop and enterprise ID issuance capabilities within a single software technology platform.”

The Datacard TruCredential Software is available in multiple editions and is compatible with a wide array of Datacard® printers and third-party technologies, thereby allowing organizations to easily scale from a single to a multiple user/workstation environment or an enterprise-wide application without increasing complexity.

Google has always been about clean and simple, and we here at DKC love that. Being user friendly, while also keeping ahead of the technological frontier has been an asset for Google since the beginning. Tamar Yehoshua, VP, Product Management & Bobby Nath, Director of User Experience had this to say about their new look!

"This isn’t the first time we’ve changed our look and it probably won’t be the last, but we think today’s update is a great reflection of all the ways Google works for you across Search, Maps, Gmail, Chrome and many others. We think we’ve taken the best of Google (simple, uncluttered, colorful, friendly), and recast it not just for the Google of today, but for the Google of the future."

Continuous growth comes from company being able to offer an open, flexible architecture that helps promote security and provides options for customers issuing driver’s licenses

MINNEAPOLIS—(Aug. 26, 2015)—Entrust Datacard today announced that the company is continuing to see significant growth in the adoption of its driver’s license solutions throughout North America. Entrust Datacard has recently been awarded numerous new driver's license programs – bringing the total to 25 states and provinces in which their solutions are implemented.

"Our solutions—which include best-in-class personalization, identity management software, secure supplies and support—deliver exceptional security and reduce fraud for government ID card programs including national IDs, travel documents, driver's licenses, smart IDs, healthcare IDs, and e-government applications. Faced with increasing rates of fraud, administrators of many driver's license programs are now transitioning to a best practices model for more secure solutions and technologies and they are turning to Entrust Datacard to help them through this process."
