The issue of National Identity Cards is always going to divide opinion in Britain where we haven’t had them since the end of the second world war. Many people are concerned about the introduction of ID cards, fearing that this will allow a future Government to have some kind of Orwellian hold over the population. But at the same time that many are voicing their objections to the idea of national ID cards, more and more businesses are using them.
ID Management Systems have been at the forefront of providing everything businesses need for their ID Cards programme. We supply the software, hardware and whatever accessories are necessary, for example ID Card Printers. Our customers come in all shapes and sizes, from the small companies you will find on the local business park right through to large organisations such as the DVLA.
These days more employers are issuing ID cards to their staff and to visitors to come to their business premises. This is just one way of enhancing security within a company that deals with sensitive information, as anyone who is within the building is likely to be challenged if they are not wearing ID cards.
ID cards are also being used more widely in places like gyms and sports centres. If you are looking for information about plastic card printing and ID cards, ID Management Systems will be able to help you. They can also supply all kinds of security accessories, such as ID Badge holders, visitor management software and neck lanyards.

At ID Management Systems we are able to offer a wide range of access cards to suit any specific requirement or budget – but what exactly are access cards and what are the options available?
Essentially, as their name suggest, access cards are plastic cards that will grant you access to location. As the mechanism by which they operate varies from card to card, the options for an access card are quite diverse, and include the following:
Proximity Card
Basically a proximity, or “prox” card carries an inherent antenna which “communicates” a card number to a reader, for example a door access device. This means that prox cards are extremely effective and easy to use, whilst being suitable to a wide variety of situations. On the negative side, however, they are “read only”, which means that they have limited functionality when compared to Smart Cards.
Magstripe Card
If you want to store significant information on an ID card (such as age or sex) then you might consider a magnetic stripe or “magstripe” card, which carries a magnetic stripe capable of encoding a significant level of information. Whilst they are now widely used for things like drivers licenses, you may need a special magstripe reader and encoder to make the most of their functionality.
Smart Cards
If you want the functionality of a prox card combined with “writable” functionality, you could opt for an ultra-modern smart card: the perfect card to meet the unique and multifaceted demands of modern industry.

There is a likelihood that if we do not have direct involvement with a school, we know somebody who does. It seems especially crucial, therefore, that school security is made a priority, as not only does installing an efficient school security system present some unique challenges, but it is children who are most deserving our protection.
As schools are often open buildings with no “on-door” security personnel, it is crucial that an unobtrusive but highly efficient visitor management system is in place and that any visitors are granted access cards or ID cards. This simple but highly effective solution is the only solution that is completely capable of monitoring a visitor’s activities and genuine identification.
Of course a school isn’t about visitors – it’s about the pupils. Therefore, appropriate ID systems need to be able to meet the unique challenges of creating ID cards for children. With this in mind it is crucial that cards can be issued quickly and effectively and that ID badges are not only usable by adults, but have the kinds of functionality that a child will respond to, such as printed lanyards.
In recent years security in schools has become a burning issue, and as the modern age has begun to offer the increased potential for security issues, we must respond in a sensible but effective way. In regards to schools, it is crucial that the school experience isn’t inhibited by unreasonable security procedures, which is why ID cards represent the ideal school security solution.

ID cards have a had a pretty bad press in recent years, and have become the byword for inappropriate government spending. However, the ID cards are not the Orwellian nightmare people would actually believe, and their ubiquitous use is actually the cornerstone of modern security.
Whilst it is true that lumbering the whole of society with an additional ID card (taking into account that passports and driving licenses are effectively ID cards) would be a waste of government initiative, there are certain applications were ID cards are not only helpful, but critical to ensure proper security.
Take visitor labels, for example; a primitive form of ID card but an identification card nevertheless. In terms of functionality this card punches above its weight as, for example, it prevents unauthorised people from being on site, ensures that visitors don’t stray into dangerous parts of a building or building site, and it is a simple way of getting to know people’s names.
On the more serious side of things, card systems are pivotal in the correct security regarding institutions such as prisons, where quick and easy identification of personnel and prisoners is a matter of utmost importance, and an environment where the rugged nature of an ID card (opposed to purely digital systems) is ideally suited to purpose.
So the fact is the more you think about identification cards, the more it becomes apparent that they are more than just potential government policy, but they are with us now. Not only that, but the proper functioning of some of our most important institutions depends on them!

ID cards can be incredibly beneficial, but few people realise just how many advantages they can bring to your business. So, here are just a few of the benefits you might find to help you realise that ID cards really are essential.
For starters, ID cards offer added security to your business and indeed your employees. They ensure that the only people on your premises are those registered to be there, and also that there’s no-one wandering around who shouldn’t be and who could pose a security risk. Badge holders are ideal for the display of ID cards on a regular basis.
Then there’s the fact that ID cards show professionalism, and they can be essential in situations where you need to deal with the public. Having ID cards allows your customers and clients to know exactly who they’re dealing with, and just having that reassurance can make them feel a lot more comfortable in your presence, particularly if you’re visiting their home.
They can even be a way to increase camaraderie between your employees. In large corporations employees can often feel like they’re not part of a wider team, but having ID cards in badge holders on constant display almost gives them a sense of identity and can be a way to bond them with their fellow staff members.
These are just a few ways that ID cards can benefit your company, but if you’re still not convinced then make sure to contact us here at ID Management Systems so you can see just what we can do for you and your business. We’re sure that you’ll be impressed with what you find.
