HID Global Emergency-Badging Solution

Organizations face an urgent requirement to onboard hundreds of key employees, such as medical, nursing and other staff members, on a daily basis across multiple facilities. HID Global introduced an emergency-badging solution to help manage the secure issuance and administration of staff badges and access control credentials as companies navigate the current health crisis.

HID’s offering combines its award-winning HID FARGO Connect solution for cloud-based ID card printing with its latest innovation for cloud-based identity management. This combination equips organizations with a convenient “touch-free” system that minimizes the effect on overwhelmed credential-issuance departments and drives a more secure work environment.  

Administrative and security challenges that have emerged among health-care institutions, government agencies and other organizations that provide emergency services include:

• Inefficient access management processes that require manual sign-in and sign-out.
• Overwhelmed IT departments that have had to adjust credential issuance.
• Access restriction to in-demand items, such as medical equipment and PPE, and safeguarding against theft.

HID’s emergency-badging solution includes the tools required to issue secure credentials to temporary employees: 

• (1) HID FARGO desktop card printer for ID and card issuance.
• (1) FARGO Connect Console for badge issuance and management.
• A free, six-month subscription to HID FARGO Connect and the company’s cloud-based identity management platform.
• Consumables, cards and subscriptions to HID’s applications and secure cloud environment.
