(NASDAQ: INVE: Frankfurt: INV), and Fuji Xerox Australia have formed an OEM partnership in which Fuji Xerox has incorporated idOnDemand's highly secure identity readers into their multifunction devices (MFD) for secure copying and printing. idOnDemand´s TouchSecure readers enable Fuji Xerox to offer its customers a converged access solution that allows employees to use a single identity card to enter the workplace and to use shared secured multifunctional copiers and printers across an organization´s physical sites. Fuji Xerox´s secured access multifunction devices are used by a wide range of customers to control and track printing expenses, reduce waste and safeguard data in shared resource environments. To print or copy a document, a user simply presents an ID card to the device for authorization. idOnDemand´s TouchSecure reader replaces the need to use a dedicated card or token to access a secured multifunction device, as its unique technology makes it capable of reading a wide variety of ID and building access cards, so the same access card that unlocks the door of the building can be used to print or copy documents. "idOnDemand's innovative reader design, which is based on the convergence of secure IT open platforms and physical access compatibility, directly aligns with our product portfolio," says Adrian Halliday, Market Development Manager at Fuji Xerox Australia. "The TouchSecure readers provide a logical extension to our product offering and help us meet the ever-growing demands of our customers. Many of our customers are demanding secure MFD access across all their sites, but differing card formats have historically prevented the use of a single reader or staff ID card." Card technologies and formats supported by the TouchSecure reader include proximity - 125 kHz (all major building access formats), NXP MIFARE® CSN and ISO 15693 CSN. The TouchSecure reader is based on international standards including ISO14443A/B and PLAID, which guarantees an open and interoperable platform design that supports current and future chip technologies and card formats. "Fuji Xerox has consistently delivered innovative solutions that help customers streamline business processes," states Craig Parker, APAC Vice President Sales at idOnDemand. "They continue to demonstrate a focus on leveraging base systems to simplify user experience and leverage information. We are gratified to partner with Fuji Xerox to help them expand their integration to include their customer´s building access technologies and offer their customers even more value."
