OR got to be a terific buying opotunity for those with cash ;o))

Patience and strong nerves are the watchwords here. Quite right Douggie, great buying opportunity. Its at times like this I look at what the company is doing and has achieved and so on, in the RNS and news pages
Up to now Iam still happy to sit this one out and wait for the share price to improve which Iam sure it will

I always feel cheated by this one, having held a small amount for years now, one day I suppose it will pay off, still waiting.

Sequestor, you are not alone i bought in at 11.75 and 9.3p and will continue holding until it comes good.

I realy would love you two to return to very big profit very soon ;o))))

recent news postings and chip and pin promotions should see upward move, but buyers seem reluctant, all my cash commited or i'd be in for more.

good of mm's to give back .25p of .38p taken yesterday ... be nice to see some/any positive trades here, surely there is real potential for this Co. & share to do well..... all news has been good but stagnent trading

moved up but no trading volume either way !!

some spread, azhar, i`m still patient.

Some spread indeed
As in October when this starts to move I think things will happen very quickly
Definately worth waitng for
Hopefully before October though !

ID Data present National ID Card solutions to The Home Office at Intellect Meeting
ID Data has made its first move to be seriously considered as a supplier of choice for the UK's National ID Card.

At Intellect's high profile conference attended by leading Home Office personnel and industry leaders, ID Data presented a challenging solution to the Government's needs for a mass issue of ID cards.

Peter Cox, CEO of ID Data plc, presented the Company's views on how they could assist the Government's plans to implement ID Cards within the UK.

The presentation focused on five key elements, that Cox and the Company felt differentiated ID Data from the crowd of potential vendors for the future programme.

They were:-

1. ID Data is the only British Independent Card Company capable of delivering the project in short timescales.


2. ID Data has the history of being successful in supplying over 5 million Post Office Card Account Smart Cards on behalf of the Government for the benefit and other payments in conjunction with EDS.


3. ID Data has the only full Java Card solution, Origin-J, a British development claimed to be some 3-5 years ahead of competition. This most importantly, allows cards to run concurrent programmes at the same time.

Cox explained the advantage being the ability to access, read and report on three or more different biometric tests at any one time. This could be iris, facial or fingerprint.

WHY SO IMPORTANT?

Orign-J's unique capability will reduce the number of rejects and misreads at the point of validation of the individuals biometrics, thus enhance the swift processing to meet any identification requirement.


4. ID Data has in place, a fully secure manufacturing and personalisation site within the UK ready to make and process secure ID Cards.


5. ID Data's partnership with the following companies:-

Toshiba - a world leader in silicon design and manufacture,

Toppan - Japan's leading security printer and producer of many passports around the world, including the US Passport.

Toppan is also the provider of the high security photo ID Card being used at this year's Olympic Games, a product that has been certified by the EU for security, but also for use as an automatic entry visa within the community.

Digimarc - the global leader in terms of providing Driving Licence technology with over 70% of the US Photo Driving Licences and DVLA as clients.

Lasercard - provider of laser, readright materials and technology. Lasercard has already been adopted in the use of the Green Card in the United States, the Canadian National ID Card and the Italian ID Card and now features in many new ID Card programmes to be launched over the coming years.

Datacard - the world's leading card personalisation equipment and system supplier.



The audience at Intellect's Conference reacted well to ID Data's presentation and future talks are expected with the Home Office and their Programme Consultants, PA Consulting. It is also expected that many of the key systems integrators targeting to be providers to this major business opportunity will work with ID Data to put together formal bids, including such companies as EDS, BT, and Syntegra

More good news...I hope it will kick start a rise in share price, this slide to oblivion has gone on too long,

too long indeed, lets hope some ass kicking of management has been applied, god knows they need it.

Azhar
Thanks for that hadn't seen it. Sounds like great news
if all this, or should I say when all this comes to fruition IDD shareprice should really take off
Patience everyone !

we are all " patients" in the IDD nut house

good luck

lol

last nights t.v prog. hot plastic about credit card fraud ought to work wonders for this share, how it can keep slipping remorslesly down with no trading activity is a mistery to me!!!..... ;~{{

I have been thinking of buying some shares in this company, so I have been doing some research I found this article dated 31st May 2004 it might be of some interest.

Biometric ID card trail kicks off in Glasgow takes us through the social political and technological problems that will accompany the home office pilot.

Volunteers are having their iris scans finger prints and facial biometrices recorded as part of a passport service trial that will see them issued with a demonstration smartcard containing all their details.

It would probably be helpful to the home office if the Glasgow trail to be both successful and popular.

Taken from usabilitynews.com

It does not say who is producing this smartcard.

Anyone know any more.
