In addition to learning about vps¹ new ID management products and services, participants to the 5th vps Customer Day were able to get valuable tips and advice from vps¹ software specialists as well as from other users of vps¹ web-based open-architecture ID card management system, IDExpert CMS. Feedback from participants was extremely positive, highlighting the strategic importance of state-of-the-art ID management solutions in both corporate and government organizations today.During the first day, under the theme IT meets ID, guests received some background information regarding the company name change to vps ID Systeme (which better reflects the nature of its core business) and the launch of the comprehensive ID management products and services platform, IDExpert. Speakers from vps also presented the new partner program as well as the latest version (2.5) of IDExpert CMS Card Management System. Two workshops were held during which participants discussed requirements for their specific ID card management systems with vps product managers. Through these contacts with clients and prospects, vps ensures that its products always meet customers needs, today and in the future.The theme of the second day was ID Security Today and Tomorrow. Among the highly qualified speakers that took the stage were Prof. Dr. Rupert Vogel from the law firm Bartsch und Partner (legal aspects of IT security), Berhard Wager from Landesamt für Statistik und Datenverarbeitung and Clemens Härtling from the IT security company IDpendant (practical experiences), Axel Maurer from Karlsruhe University (Service Oriented Architecture), and Christoph Aschmoneit from LEGIC Identsystems (new approaches to contactless reading).The outstanding success of this year¹s event led to the prompt decision to hold the 6th vps Customer Day in 2008.
