Mobile Credentials - Phase 1: Analysis and Discovery

At the end of July, ITS completed the Analysis & Discovery phase of this project which explored the possibility of BGSU Implementing Mobile Credentials and moving away from a physical ID card.  The deliverable created at the end of the project was a summary document that included a list of all card reader hardware on campus, a list of every way the current physical ID is used on campus, results from conducting interviews with other universities that have implemented mobile credentials, exploration of backup for people that don’t have smart phones, exploration of vendor solutions, and cost estimates for all needed hardware and software solutions.  There will be a Phase 2 starting soon that will include more research into installation / construction costs of new door access hardware.  A Capital Planning PRF for more cost research was also submitted at the end of July.
