It's safe to say that ID card use over the past two decades has increased significantly. Back in the day, identification credentials displayed relatively simple data like name, title, company and photo.
With the ID software of today, however, the information contained on a photo ID card is considerably more complex in nature. Combined with innovative printer features and enhancements, ID cards can now be used for a variety of applications instead of just simple identification. Additionally, the level of personalization has been dramatically improved over the years.
Along with this evolution, ID card software has undergone many iterations of capabilities and technology upgrades. With this level of complexity, it's clear that all ID card software programs are not created equally.
That's why having a reliable, straight-forward ID software is so critical for the security and success of your card issuance program. But how does this help the transition from one ID software to another?
With CloudBadging ID Badge Management Software, designing and creating ID cards has never been easier or more convenient. This simple and secure cloud-based program doesn’t require any software installation on your computer or IT support.
