Case Study: Kent State University streamlines student ID issuance with HID FARGO Connect

Kent State University Streamlines Student ID Issuance Process with HID FARGO Connect

Kent State University, a public research institution, faced a challenge in efficiently issuing ID cards to thousands of new students during its orientation, which resulted in long wait times. To streamline this process and uphold its students-first mission, the university partnered with HID Global to implement the FARGO Connect cloud-based solution.

HID Global's FARGO Connect platform allowed university staff to securely issue student IDs from any location using a mobile device and a web browser. This solution eliminated centralized printing, cutting down student waiting times and personalizing the card issuance process. The implementation provided a transformative, seamless experience for students without compromising on security.
