A Thing Platform Seven

 

Platform Seven

 

     Datacard Group has acquired Platform Seven, a leading independent provider of smart card and e-commerce security products, solutions, and services.

     Platform Seven, formerly of the NatWest Development Team, has focused on secure smart card software since 1990 when they began the technical design development, and implementation of the Mondex electronic purse. The name may be familiar because the team went on to develop several smart card operating systems including one that was brought to market as the MULTOS smart card operation system.

     This acquisition significantly increases Datacard’s role in the smart card market. “Datacard already provides smart card personalization software for all major card schemes, independent of the card types. Now with the acquisition of Platform Seven, Datacard will expand its role from smart card personalization tools to multi-application smart card software that businesses and consumers rely on within the rapidly developing world of e-commerce,” said Jerry E. Johnson, CEO of Datacard Group.

     Platform Seven is focusing its activity on three main smart card areas: common software interfaces/operating systems, scheme development tools, and multiple application card management systems. For more information visit www.datacard.com or www.platform7.com.
