Gladstone launches Identity Manager at BETT 2009

Gladstone Education, a leading developer of Education Facilities Management Solutions (EFMS) is delighted to announce that it will launch OnRecord Identity Manager™ at BETT 2009.

OnRecord Identity Manager will provide the ability for a school or college to simply and instantly provide students, teachers and support staff with easier access to internal resources. Simply by allocating a single card from the OnRecord Identity Manager suite, each linked application in the school environment will be allocated the same unique identifier, enabling the cardholder to access all applications immediately.

OnRecord Identity Manager is an effective way to manage access to extended facilities within the school environment, from cashless catering to library management and even locker access. The solution simply extracts core data directly from the Management Information System (MIS) in real time before enabling the school to allocate unique identities to each individual, making it a simple, scalable and fully integrated solution.

At the heart of OnRecord Identity Manager is the Card Management System (CMS), a core function of OnRecord, meaning that all students can be issued with a single smartcard that carries their unique identity. This single card instantly allows or denies access to other facilities such as e-registration, cashless catering, access control and library management where Identity Manager integration is enabled.

With a direct link between OnRecord and the MIS, any amendments required to a student's information need only be entered once. For example, if a student starts taking free school meals halfway through an academic term, then that one update in the MIS database is automatically transferred to the cashless catering module by OnRecord Identity Manager.

If a student loses or misplaces their card, it really is a straightforward and simple process to issue a replacement and cancel the old card. The updated card information is logged with OnRecord Identity Manager and this automatically updates all other facilities management solutions, making the new card instantly useable. This simple process removes the need for manual updates, reducing both administration time and the possibility for human error.

One card, many uses, with no administrative overheads.
