The Benefits of Using ID123’s Cloud-Based ID Card Printing Software with Entrust’s Instant ID as a Service

ID123’s Cloud-based ID Card Printing Software is innovatively designed to optimize the ID card printing process and elevate the capabilities of traditional ID card printers. Entrust’s Instant ID as a Service (IIDaaS) enables organizations to securely trigger print jobs and manage their fleet of industry-leading ID card printers, from anywhere in the world. Why not take advantage of both solutions? The collaboration between ID123 and Entrust forms a robust integrated solution that leverages the capabilities of ID123’s Cloud-Based ID Card Printing Software and Entrust’s Instant ID as a Service. to create a flexible, secure, and efficient ID card issuance process.

Let’s check out the key benefits of using ID123’s Cloud-Based ID Card Printing Software with Entrust’s Instant ID as a Service and ID card printers.

Organizations taking advantage of ID123 and Entrust’s integrated solution can access and manage their ID card printing processes from anywhere in the world through ID123’s cloud-based ID Management System (IDMS). This system is fully web-based, allowing users to log in from any web browser without the need for additional software installation. Whether managing ID issuance from a single office or multiple locations, the ability to control the entire process remotely is a game-changer for efficiency.

With traditional desktop badge design tools, organizations often face restrictions due to localized software and hardware. ID123’s and Entrust’s integrated cloud-based solution eliminates these limitations, offering a more streamlined approach. Organizations can benefit from the flexibility and control of managing ID card issuance and design at any time, directly from the cloud anywhere in the world.

Unlike traditional desktop card badge design tools, ID123’s Cloud Badge Design Tool is accessible directly from the IDMS through any web browser. There’s no need for additional software licenses or complex installations. This cloud-based approach allows businesses to create custom badge designs quickly and easily, all within the same system they use for managing user data and issuing cards.

ID123’s Cloud Badge Design Tool enables organizations to have a faster design-to-print workflow. Once the custom badge designs are ready, the badge designs can be instantly applied to their users’ data and print ID badges on their local Entrust printer or submit a print request through Entrust’s IIDaaS. The entire process, from badge design to issuance, is streamlined through a single platform, removing the friction of switching between multiple tools and systems.

Using ID123’s Cloud-Based ID Card Printing Software in conjunction with Entrust’s IIDaaS gives businesses the flexibility to decide how to print ID badges. From the IDMS, organizations can quickly trigger print jobs directly from their web browser to their locally supported Entrust printers such as the Sigma DS1, DS2, DS3, or Artista CR805. This comes in handy when there are no robust secure printing or encoding requirements and the convenience of a quick print job is needed. Alternatively, organizations can decide to proxy print jobs from the IDMS through Entrust’s IIDaaS, allowing for batch printing, card encoding, secure printing, and triggering print jobs from anywhere. This combination offers unprecedented flexible printing capability, making it easier for organizations to manage their ID card issuance no matter where they are located.

Organizations can sync their user data to ID123’s IDMS through various methods such as CSV import, webhook, LDAP, API integration, or data syncs with popular third-party systems like Ellucian Banner and Ellucian Colleague. These seamless data sync integrations make it easy to keep cardholder data up-to-date, which is critical for organizations with dynamic user databases. The IDMS even supports the ability to schedule regular data syncs. This ensures that user data remains accurate without the need for manual intervention, saving time and reducing errors. Whether creating badge designs or proxying print jobs through IIDaaS, administrators can rest easy knowing they are using the most up-to-date user data.

With ID123’s and Enutrst’s integrated solution, organizations now have the ability to issue and manage both digital and physical ID badges from the same interface. From ID123’s IDMS, digital ID cards can be issued to cardholder’s mobile devices via ID123’s Digital ID Card App. Alternatively, physical ID badges can be printed directly from the IDMS using one of Entrust ID card printers or proxied through IIDaaS for seamless cloud printing. This dual functionality provides organizations with the flexibility to adapt to the evolving landscape of ID credentialing. As more companies shift to digital solutions, having the option to issue both physical and digital cards becomes increasingly important.

ID123’s cloud-based software offers enhanced security through encryption and secure access protocols, ensuring that sensitive user data is protected throughout the entire ID card issuance process. Organizations that use ID123 and Entrust’s integrated solution can securely store user data in ID123’s IDMS across designated data centers in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia to comply with international data sovereignty laws. User data can then be securely transferred from the IDMS to IIDaaS over the cloud to print ID badges as needed. This level of security is crucial for industries that handle personal information, such as education, healthcare, and government.

Moving to a cloud-based solution not only enhances security but also significantly reduces costs compared to traditional desktop software. It eliminates the need for expensive on-site servers, regular software updates, and multiple licenses. The scalability of ID123’s and Entrust’s cloud-based solution allows businesses to grow without the limitations of outdated infrastructure, all while maintaining the highest security standards.

ID123’s Cloud-Based ID Card Printing Software is fully compatible with a range of Entrust’s high-performance ID card printers, including:

• Sigma DS1, DS2, and DS3: These printers are known for their simplicity, security features, and superior print quality.
