Acquisition brings personalization to HID to “complete the identity management equation”

By Andy Williams, Contributing Editor

HID Global's president and CEO, Denis Hébert, calls it "completing the equation." That's one way of looking at the company's recent purchase of Fargo Electronics because it now gives the company a firmer hold on the complete credential management process, from creation to issuance.

Asked about the importance of this acquisition, Mr. Hébert said, “One of the key factors in our decision to make the acquisition was Fargo’s ability to complete our offerings in supplying credentials and ID devices to customers overall. It's one thing to manufacture them and another thing to personalize them.”
