The IT Department of KRG evaluated a number of proposals from suppliers of different countries and awarded this significant project to GNSS and Emirates Computers based on our expertise and best-of-breed solutions that we offered."
"We offered the best secured solution for the Kurdistan Regional Government which included a matrix of options by industry leading manufacturers of smart ID Cards, personalization printers, software and other peripherals. The various principals involved in this project are Microsoft, FARGO, Dell, Cisco, Labcal to name a few." Mr. Roumi added.
The ID card issuance and management system, developed by Emirates Computers/ Hylerlink SDC (Solution Development Centre), is based on Microsoft .NET platform and MS SQL Server is used as the back end for the database development. DELL offered the hardware components and Cisco provided the components for the Network solution. FARGO custom designed smart ID cards, the card printing and finger print peripherals and Labcal supplied the handheld mobile reader and card validation device to read the cards for quality assurance at the issuing sites.
