Claims Clouds and Cards

onvergence is a lovely thing – Administrators finally have a viable, supported way to replace passwords with tokens – a solution that vastly improves security and is a godsend for compliance.

Lastly, we will give you the scoop on the surprise twist in information cards that has occurred since last year’s TEC conference!
