Presenter: Mark Degan, Director of Corporate Marketing at ColorID, LLC

The Campus Identity Roadmap...What is it, Why do we need it and How do we create one? Advanced campus identity technologies are becoming available at an unprecedented speed. New credential types including mobile, biometrics, contactless credentials, and cloud-based identity solutions can provide increased safety and enhanced student engagement across your campus. Universities are complex ecosystems comprised of both independent and integrated systems that provide everyday campus services. These systems use many types of identifiers, along with a variety of back-end systems that manage them. It’s important that these technologies and business practices align to provide an efficient delivery of services. The ability to unify and integrate existing campus services and successfully fold in emerging technologies is key to successfully enhancing services and safety. Todd Brooks (Director of Product Management) and Danny Smith (Executive Vice President) of ColorID, LLC will summarize all the important aspects of the Campus Identity Roadmap for an institution and the steps and considerations needed to consider.
