HID Global will showcase its new migration access control card/reader technologies and printer solutions
HID Global, trusted leader in solutions for the delivery of secure identity, is continuing its drive to enable seamless migration from legacy technology to secure physical and logical access control solutions.

The company will highlight its "Migration in 3D" theme to showcase its new solutions for enabling 1) higher security, 2) multiple applications on a singe card, and 3) migration from legacy systems to cutting-edge technology at this week's Security Essen.

In addition to demonstrating its broad range of secure identity products and new printer/encoder solutions, Volker Kunz, Regional Director, Continental Europe, Identity & Access Management (IAM), at HID Global will discuss the company's strategy for migration in physical access, logical access and printer/encoder solutions on October 5 (2:30 p.m.); and on October 6 and 7 (3:15 p.m.) in the Security Forum 1, Hall 4.

"At HID Global, we believe that keeping pace with advanced technology solutions is the best way for our customers to meet the challenges they face in their day-to-day business," said Harm Radstaak, Managing Director, EMEA, Identity and Access Management (IAM), at HID Global. "HID Global's expanded offering of migration readers and credentials helps organizations meet those challenges by streamlining the transition to higher security for better performance, while also empowering them to more easily and flexibly deploy multiple applications on a single credential."
