GATINEAU, Quebec , April 5, 2006 – Synercard, developer of the critically acclaimed Asure ID ® suite of photo ID and ID card application control software , will premiere Asure ID Exchange, the newest addition to its trusted product line and the first software to offer a one-step process for the seamless provisioning of multiple applications onto iCLASS, Mifare and DESFire smart cards.

Organizations need identity/security cards that not only control physical access but also logical access, member services and cashless vending.

The software works flawlessly with many third-party technologies, including those from partners such as HID Corporation, AMAG Technology, Inc., Datastrip Inc., Bioscrypt Inc., VMC Ltd. and OMNIKEY, to instantly create a photo ID card that allows physical and logical access, mobile ID verification, biometric authentication, and cashless vending.
