HID Evangelist Calls For "Ditching Plastic Credentials"
Selling "plastic credentials" has been a core business of HID Global for decades, but now an HID evangelist is calling for "ditching plastic credentials" in favor of mobile.
In this note, we examine the tradeoffs of moving from plastic to mobile and the risks for HID.

- User ********** - as NFC gains more traction, this IMHO will help adoption. There is no app to fool with, no virtual button to select doors, or any of the other Bluetooth "quirks". NFC closely mirrors the prox card experience, by just holding the device near the reader like you would a plastic credential.
- Reader ******** - Be it BLE or NFC, there are revenue considerations to upgrade legacy readers.
- Recurring ******* - With mobile credentials, you're more so in a sense renting a credential, versus purchasing physical ones. So the subsequent procurement decisions, I suspect, will mirror that of similar scenarios - e.g., Software/Hardware as a Service vs On-prem, Lease vs Purchase, etc...
