Instant Badge Issuance   In Production
 
 
 

 

Instant Badge Issuance (IBI) is a smart card identity badge creation system that complements Microsoft Identity and Access solutions and enables enterprises to produce employee IDs locally in minutes.

In addition to printing graphics and personalizing applications on a magnetic stripe or ISO 14443 compatible contactless chip, IBI works directly with Microsoft Active Directory and Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM) to load digital certificates directly onto the smart card.

The result is a single, converged badge that gives employees secure access to facilities, networks and applications throughout the enterprise.

Features and Benefits

Gemalto Instant Badge Issuance extends Microsoft ILM with the following badge management features :

  • badge graphical layout design
  • employee photo enrolment
