Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies, manufacturer of Schlage contactless smart credentials and readers, has announced that it will enter into a technology partnership with Vision Database Systems (VDS), a supplier of ID tracking, issuance and management solutions.
According to the Ingersoll Rand, the partnership will let VDS customers pair open architecture smart credentials and readers from Schlage with the ID issuance, management and tracking services offered by Vision Database Systems.
Over the last 15 years, VDS has made IDMS ID carding software an open industry standard that interfaces with most popular plastic printers, as well as with access control systems, library, food and proprietary campus software.
According to Ingersoll Rand, VDS, has helped over 50 of the largest colleges in the United States navigate from magnetic stripe cards to proximity cards and, now, to smart card technologies.
