Janam Technologies, a leading provider of rugged mobile computers and contactless access solutions, today announced it has been acquired by HID, a worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions. The acquisition expands the portfolio of products, solutions and services that Janam and HID deploy to enterprise customers seeking innovative technology for capturing, using, sharing and managing information at the point of activity.
Janam will belong to HID’s Identification Technologies (IDT) Business Area and more specifically operate as an independent business segment within the Events & Mobility Solutions (EMS) Business Unit. As part of the transaction, HID will support Janam’s ongoing business in rugged mobile computing solutions that deliver increased productivity, operational efficiency, credentialing capability and customer satisfaction to enterprise customers in retail, healthcare, warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, government, public safety, sports and live entertainment markets.
KEY FACTS
