The University is purchasing a software package from Integrated Video
Imaging Solutions in order to produce university identification cards
that will have a digital reproduced photograph printed on the card and
store ID data and color phoptographs for instant electronic retrieval.
The information stored can be used for security management reports, ID
verification, replace a lost card, etc. An university employee would
take the photographs and the system would be managed by an university
department. There would be access security measures to limit access to
the database to protect individual privacy, etc.
