ForceID Delivers Scalable, Cloud-Based ID Issuance Across India
Read how Force Identification Private Limited (ForceID) delivered a scalable, cloud-first approach to secure ID issuance across India by combining Entrust Instant ID as a Service (IIDaaS), IIDaaS Ribbons, and Entrust Sigma printers into a unified credentialing solution.
Organizations across education, healthcare, government, and enterprise sectors needed a secure and efficient way to issue credentials across distributed environments without the complexity of traditional software deployments. ForceID leveraged Entrust's browser-based issuance platform, cloud-enabled printing infrastructure, and consumption-based licensing model to simplify deployment, reduce operational overhead, and streamline credential management.
The result: faster onboarding, simplified software adoption, secure issuance of both physical and mobile credentials, and a scalable foundation for identity programs across multiple locations.
はじめに

With a strong Pan-India presence, the company delivers ID card printers, card issuance software, consumables, and identity management solutions to help organizations efficiently produce secure credentials. As an authorized channel partner and reseller of Entrust solutions, ForceID also integrates industry-leading credential issuance technologies into its offerings to meet evolving security and compliance requirements.
To address the need for secure, scalable, and easy-to-deploy ID issuance solutions, ForceID partnered with Entrust to deliver a cloud-first issuance model that simplifies deployment, reduces operational burden, and enables consistent, secure credentialing across distributed environments.
By combining Entrust Instant ID as a Service (IIDaaS), IIDaaS Ribbons, and Entrust Sigma printers, ForceID offers a complete, integrated solution that supports both physical and digital identity issuance at scale.
課題
Many organizations scaling across multiple sites needed a fast and secure way to onboard employees, students, contractors, and visitors, often across distributed environments with varying levels of IT infrastructure.
At the same time, customers expected modern, cloud-based solutions without the complexity of traditional deployments. Managing software installations, updates, and renewals created friction for both adoption and ongoing operations.
For ForceID, scaling these programs required a solution that could remove this friction while maintaining strong security and consistency.
主な課題には、次のようなものがありました。
- Delivering a modern cloud experience without increasing IT burden for customers
- Simplifying how software is purchased, renewed, and consumed
- Ensuring secure, consistent issuance across distributed printer fleets and customer environments
To address these challenges, ForceID required a cloud-first solution that could simplify deployment, reduce friction, and support secure, scalable issuance across diverse customer environments.
ソリューション
To address these challenges, ForceID deployed an integrated Entrust solution built around cloud-based issuance, simplified consumption, and secure edge printing.
At the core is Entrust Instant ID as a Service (IIDaaS), which designs, issues, and manages credentials through a browser-based interface. This enables organizations to issue both physical ID cards and mobile flash passes simultaneously, without requiring heavy software installations.
This foundation is extended through IIDaaS Ribbons, which introduce a consumption-based model aligned to familiar supply workflows. By enabling cloud printing functionality through ribbon usage, organizations can access IIDaaS capabilities while simplifying purchasing, activation, and ongoing usage.
The solution is completed with Entrust Sigma direct-to-card printers, which are cloud-ready devices designed for secure, distributed issuance. These printers provide visibility into status, supplies, and updates through an intuitive dashboard, enabling consistent operation across locations.
Core solution components included:
- Cloud-based ID issuance through IIDaaS with browser-based design and management
- Simultaneous issuance of physical cards and mobile flash passes
- Encrypted communication between software and printers
- Consumption-based activation via IIDaaS Ribbons aligned to supply reordering workflows
- Role-based access control and end-to-end data encryption
- Secure, cloud-enabled Entrust Sigma Printers with centralized visibility and management
With these capabilities, ForceID delivers a complete, cloud-first issuance solution to simplify deployment while maintaining strong security and scalability.
Faster onboarding, simplified deployment, and seamless scalability have helped us grow our Entrust business across India.
