November 19

We met up with the people from PPC in Cartes Paris as they where interested in our native connections for the large University in Australia and on this day we released our English translated version of the product so we can deliver this project. Upon today, they are still using CardExchange® for their card production!

November 7 to 9

For the first time ever, CardExchange® was presented to the international ID market on Cartes 2006 in Paris. While the whole team was dressed up in orange tshirts, we showed the new development with several printer integrations.

Building the distribution network has begun!

May 5

The release of CardExchange® version 3. This major release transported us from the old 1.1 .NET Framework to the .NET version 2 Framework. We also introduced the Windows Vista style interface following the Microsoft Office looka and feel.

November 4

We had to say goodbye to Peedy...

When Microsoft introduced Windows 7, they also ended the support for the Microsoft Office Agent and so also Peedy had to retire. It was also the end of the support for Windows 2000.

June 5

After 6 years, it was time to replace the card designer. We introduced the WPF based designer in version 7 with a complete new Office look and feel, including the famous ribbon. We changed from a single template with single or double sided printing, to allowing templates with multiple layouts or layouts with multiple pages. The interface was setup in a PowerPoint style.

March 24

As we did before for NiSCA, on this date, we introduced a dedicated in the box version for Matica: The Matica GO edition.

January 1

We always have been a one product company but in 2015 we started working on developing a new product, CardExchange® Visitor. The goal was to make create an application that easily could switch between card production and visitor management and we introduced the CardExchange® Gateway concept. Altough both products are now seperated, the installer still has this name.

For the visitor management products, we defined 3 editions and released them one by one starting with the Enter edition on this day.

April 4

We officially released CardExchange® version 10 at ISC West including a single interface with Producer as well Visitor integrated.
