Intercede produces MyID Identity and Credential Management System that enables organizations to manage the identities of people and their associated identity credentials within a single, integrated, workflow driven platform. This includes enabling and managing secure registration, biometric capture, application vetting and approval through to smart card personalization, issuance and management.

MyID manages the devices and credentials used for photo ID badges, physical access to buildings and logical access to PCs. It can be configured to meet the specific requirements of different industries including banking, telecom and healthcare.

Intercede says that MyID is suitable for government agencies as it facilitates management of identities and credentials within high security environments, as well as specialist areas such as national ID, transportation, driving license management, airports and emergency services.

It delivers registration, ID verification and issuance within a single product. MyID PIV is pre-configured to manage the end-to-end FIPS-201 process as required to produce HSPD-12 compliant PIV cards.

In June 2008, Intercede has launched MyID 8, a customizable environment for managing people, enforcing policies and enabling processes.
