Bell group plc subsidiary Bell id has signed an agreement with the powers-that-be at Warwick University for the provision of a turnkey Campus Card solution to access control.
As a result, the University will now use Bell ID's ANDiS Card and Application Management System (CMS/AMS) for central management of a 'membership catalogue' involving the life-cycle management of 30,000 smart cards to be issued to students, staff and visitors alike.

The ANDiS CMS/AMS will be available for authorised operators University-wide via a standard Web browser, enabling the decentralised registration of cardholders, their entitlements to the use of applications available and status changes of cards and cardholders.

All data will be stored in a central database – preventing the duplication of data entry and ensuring accurate and timely data availability for operators and application providers.

A similar access control scheme is in use at Northumbria University.
