HID Global Streamlines ID Issuance at University of Connecticut
The University of Connecticut (UConn) selected HID Global’s Seos smart cards and HID FARGO Connect secure issuance solution to optimize student services and strengthen security across its five-campus network. The HID FARGO Connect cloud-based platform enables UConn to decentralize ID issuance and eliminate student wait times, while Seos technology eliminates the vulnerabilities of its legacy system.
UConn’s One Card office partnered with identification solutions supplier, ColorID, to upgrade its Husky One cards with Seos credential technology to combat card duplication and fraud. The cards provide access to student essentials such as dorms, dining halls and printing services. “The biggest challenge for UConn was it needed to re-card its campus to bolster security,” said Cassie Bunner, higher education account manager at ColorID. “We wanted to present the university with a technology we knew and had confidence in. HID was exactly that.”
