Indala Corp., San Jose, Calif., began production of 22,000 multi-technology smart cards for Microsoft Corp. This was the second of four phases designed to replace older 32KB-chip cards (also Indala) used by all Microsoft employees and contractors. According to Candy Stark, security program manager Microsoft Corp., “The new cards hold a greater amount of memory than the previous cards, and give us the flexibility to support applications such as cashless vending and cafeteria payments.”
