| It is clear that system integration issues can make or break ant smart card project, whether than be in the identification field or not. Effective system integration can lead to a very efficient system that is liked by the users, is seen to be very cost effective.
However, bad system integration can lead to many years of technical headaches, unhappy customers and users as well as a complete system failure. As seen as the most important aspect with many organisations, bad system integration can quite easily lead to a never-ending passage of cost. In the identification field, system integration will play a pivotal role and vendors in this field will have to be very weary of disgruntled users who can quite simply reject a system which in turn can lead to the rejection of the system integrator.
One of the main challenges in the system integration field is the ‘pulling together’ of all the various components involved in a project that at first can seem to be a very overwhelming task, especially in a large-scale identification smart card project.
Next comes integration, something that need to happen at various levels. This is an ongoing process and happens at the physical level, the actual process of integrating various components from a number of different vendors. Secondly, the most efficient use of data resources is another key element to a successful system integration project.
In a large-scale government identification project there will be many companies, unfortunately there is no handbook to guide customers and vendors through a project.
One of many routes used by governments and other card issuers when dealing with a large rollout of smart cards is to go through a testing phase and then a small pilot. It is also advisable to work with experienced partners whose recommendations on technology best fit the needs of the customer before any commitment to products has been made.
Within the government market another key challenge depends on the extent of the smart card project. For example, a national identification project may well span across a number of different business processes. The challenge here becomes the integration of these different data resources.
It is clear that smart card governmental identification projects offer system integration companies great opportunities.
