DISO Adds Two New
Solutions to the US
Government's
Approved Product
List
Stuttgart, Germany;
Piedmont, SC, USA

Digital
Identification
Solutions AG (DISO),
a leading
international ID
solutions provider,
has recently
received
notification from
the US General
Services
Administration (GSA)
that its two recent
submissions to the
FIPS 201 product
list have been
approved.
The first approved
Card Printer Station
(CPS) posted on the
Approved Products
List (APL) for US
government agencies
to purchase after
the establishment of
the Homeland
Security
Presidential
Directive 12
(HSPD-12) was our
very own
EDIsecure®
XID 590i
Retransfer Printer
and Inline
Lamination Unit
(ILU) combined
solution back in
August of 2006,
after the APL
program was setup
following the
government’s
initiative to create
interoperability
rules between
agencies through the
Federal Information
Processing
Standards,
publication 201 (FIPS
201).
Since then, that
solution was updated
to the more recent
EDIsecure®
XID 590ie
series model, using
the same ILU
Laminator. Just this
week, two new
solutions have
received the same
GSA approval for US
federal agencies to
purchase – the
EDIsecure®
XID 8300
Retransfer ID Card
Printer and ILM-DS
combined system, and
the EDIsecure®
DCP 360+ Direct ID
Card Printer and ILM
combined system.
This now allows
Digital
Identification
Solutions and its
reseller partners to
offer three unique,
FIPS 201 certified
solutions to federal
departments and the
integrators and
contractors that
serve them, to
create truly secure
and interoperable ID
cards for all of
their employees.
“Having all three of
these solutions on
the GSA APL gives
our reseller
partners a clear
advantage over the
competition, by
offering the widest
array of solutions
on the most reliable
and proven printer
systems in the
world,” says Ed
Cochran, General
Manager of DISO’s
North and South
American operations.
“With three
different card
printer solutions
now on the GSA’s
APL, our resellers
are able to supply
solutions carefully
matched to our
customers’
requirements.”
In addition to the
same printing,
encoding and
lamination options
as its predecessor,
the XID
590ie/ILU Solution,
the EDIsecure®
XID 8300/ILM-DS
System provides the
same level of
quality and
reliability in a
smaller footprint
and at a lower cost.
The EDIsecure®
DCP 360+/ILM
Solution offers even
greater speed in a
direct card format,
all while offering
the same encoding
and lamination
options as its
retransfer siblings.
To be certified on
the APL, all three
solutions were
required to have
their card output
tested by separate
third party agencies
to verify that they
could meet the GSA’s
strict standards.
