Deciding what technology to implement for your photo ID badges can be a tough decision. There are many options out there to choose from, so how do you know what the best option for your organization will be? The choice is ultimately going to come down to what your uses for the card are, how long you’ll be using these cards, and your budget. Not to mention the technology you choose obviously has to function with your current card readers or you’ll have to account for the new card readers you will need to get. A few of the card technology options that are most utilized are bar codes, proximity RFID, magnetic stripe and virtual ID badges.
