“As we expand our R&D investment in SaaS (News - Alert) and gear up to launch our cloud-based secure NFC platform, we view full ownership of idOnDemand to be strategically important and we are pleased to have been able to reach this agreement," stated Ayman S. Ashour, Chairman and CEO of Identive in a company press release.

Identive acquired more than 95 percent of the shares of stock of idOnDemand, Inc. on May 2, 1011 as previously announced. Delivering a managed identity service that allows organizations to use a single, globally trusted credential for secure access to buildings, computers, mobile devices and corporate information stored in the cloud, idOnDemand is a pioneer of the Software as a Service (SaaS) business model, based in California, the company stated in a press release.
