HID on the Desktop

• naviGO™ credential management software enables the addition of PC logon functionality to cards regardless of the existing physical access control system or IT infrastructure.
• HID’s OMNIKEY® readers include a contact and/or contactless interface with support for a variety of desktop and mobile applications.
ActivIdentity ActivIDTM Card Management System (CMS)
* Demonstrations will include the installation, configuration and deployment of ActivIDTM CMS. The solution issues and manages the lifecycle of PIV Cards for the delivery of fully integrated physical access control and IT security solutions.
