International. The shift in the use of trusted IDs drives greater adoption of advanced mobile and smart card technology, increased cloud relevance, and new IoT use cases.
HID Global precisely foresees a change in the use of identification technology that will lead to greater adoption of mobile devices and the latest smart card technology, to greater importance and dependence on the cloud, and to a radically new way of conceiving reliability in intelligent and Internet of Things (IoT) environments.
Ultimately, HID Global predicts that the trends of 2017 will transform the way trusted identities are used with smart cards, mobile devices, electronic apparel or accessories, embedded chips and other "smart" objects, particularly in regulated industries such as government, finance and healthcare delivery. This transformation will precipitate the transition from traditional systems to NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth Low Energy technologies, as well as advanced smart card technology to meet the changing needs of businesses and governments around the world.
The forecast for 2017 is also based on a breakthrough in the adoption of mobile ID technology that occurred in 2016. An example of this trend, whose effect is felt across the industry, is that HID Global experienced tremendous demand in the implementation of its mobility solutions in general and has an extensive list of future customer installations for optimized ID verification for mobile applications.
"HID Global has forecast key trends based on a broad view of the market and in close collaboration with customers and partners who are evaluating and implementing innovative solutions in different markets around the world," said Stefan Widing, President and CEO of HID Global. "We have been at the forefront of the most important technological transformations over the years. HID Global believes that 2017 will mark an important milestone in the industry as organizations look to employ the widest range of smart devices. This will have a direct impact on how customers perceive and use trusted IDs on both mobile devices and smart cards to carry out more activities in more connected environments in the coming years."
