MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Entrust Datacard, a leading provider of trusted identity and secure transaction technology solutions, announces that the company has received the Blue Shield Technology Innovation Award for Security and Anti-Counterfeiting Technology for the Entrust Datacard™ Retransfer Card Printer series from the China International Association for Promotion of Science and Technology (CIAPST).
Established in 2010, the Blue Shield Technology Innovation Award for Security and Anti-Counterfeiting Technology was created to promote the innovation and application of security and anti-counterfeiting technology by companies around the world that conduct business in China, and is now viewed as the top award in the Chinese security industry.
Entrust Datacard received the Blue Shield Award for its Retransfer Card Printer series at the 12th Security Document Summit in Beijing, China. This on demand solution gives financial institutions, enterprises, universities and government programs the flexibility and features they need to issue identity, access and payment cards – right from their desktop. The printer provides long-lasting, high-definition images, while ensuring a deep level of security, durability and reliability.
“It’s an honor to be recognized as a leading security solution provider in the Chinese security industry and to have the Retransfer Printer series recognized as a top product in the market,” said Angus McDougall, regional vice president – APAC for Entrust Datacard. “We’re pleased to see that the Retransfer Printer series have not only provided a flexible and reliable identity platform, but has also redefined printing expectations for both our customers and the industry as a whole.”
This recognition is the result of Entrust Datacard’s 48 years of security expertise and over 20 years of providing trusted identity and transactions in China. In 2017, for example, Entrust Datacard reduced turnaround time from 30-45 days to the same day for a social security card issuance program across various provinces in China. This was achieved through an in region partner that implemented retransfer printers in a variety of provincial issuing locations.
“Entrust Datacard is dedicated to providing the most innovative printing solutions to our customers in China,” said Angus McDougall, regional vice president – APAC for Entrust Datacard. “This effort will continue as we enhance the capabilities of our retransfer printers and overall printing portfolio.”
