Consulting

Technological and Marketing strategy

We help authorities and Issuers define the best IC technologies for them, taking into account the potential of the technology and its obsolescence over time, the unit cost and the marketing aspects. We help Payment systems, Transportation systems, and bank issuers define their products.

System specification

Implementing IC systems for Payment, Transportation or ID applications is more complex than other systems in terms of security and certification. As a matter of fact, in most cases, the need for interoperability is a key issue (interop. with other systems, or interop. with other devices inside a same system), and certification processes are the only way to guaranty interoperability.

We help authorities define the specifications of their systems, define their certification schemes and define the administrative process for the enforcement of such schemes.

Control, testing, audits

The fact that we originate from an IC-Testing laboratory gives an insight on quality and security: Implementation of specifications and standards, respect of procedures and administrative processes.

Quality is a “culture” and we help organization deploy quality schemes and upgrade their systems to meet IC quality standards. Our consultants know the markets requirements, understand the manufacturers' concerns and focus on the authorities quality targets.

Our actions can take many forms: final product quality checks, establishment of periodical production tests, audits of IC issuing processes, etc.
