Implementation Consulting
UK Local Authority Solution
Unicard works with local authorities to define best value smart card scheme infrastructures, based on current standards, business models and state of the art technical components.
This process normally requires close collaboration with the business consultants for the scheme, and we will work in partnership with them to realise an end-to-end strategy study for local authority-driven schemes.
We combine unique experience of local scheme implementations with in-depth understanding of operational and application integration issues. Our solutions are highly pragmatic, based on an end to end, open and dynamic architecture with the flexibility and scalability needed to support:
- A multi-application and multi-issuer scheme
- Flexible and distributed operation
- Multi-sector participation (transport, loyalty, payment, and so on)
Unicard covers all aspects of the scheme, including defining the different card platforms to be used, integration with the application terminals, and the scheme back office architecture. We will typically carry out several or all of the following tasks:
- Analysing the scheme's specific requirements
- Capturing the application requirements
- Defining the best scheme implementation model & business processes
- Defining the best components and architecture
- Defining the best implementation strategy
Our committment to building solutions based on open standards means that our customers can procure best value products and services, such as smart cards, card readers, and bureau services.
