Having one solution for your secure ID program reduces complexity by providing end-to-end visibility, increased efficiency, and better security measures. How does HID Fargo Connect make this happen?

HID Fargo Connect integrates everything: hardware, software, consumables, and services—and best of all, it’s designed to integrate with popular access control and university One Card solutions such as Atrium™ and CBORD®. College administrators can design card templates, capture data, personalize, and securely issue ID cards from anywhere using any supported device. Plus, with the platform’s real-time dashboard, administrators get full printer visibility and control, eliminating consumables out-of-stock issues.
