OUD-BEIJERLAND, The Netherlands - August 11, 2011 - (euro adhoc) -
Multicard, a leading supplier of credential solutions, identity
management, and system integration services and a business unit of
Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE, Frankfurt: INV), announced today
it is providing the Municipality of Enschede, The Netherlands with an
integrated solution to manage administration of the community´s free
bus transport service for older residents. Multicard´s solution
encompasses participant enrolment, the issuance of special passes for
the service, management of the database of participants, and the
design and management of a web portal that allows the city to monitor
the process and flow of the project.

This special transport service is being introduced as a result of
agreements between the Municipality of Enschede and the Dutch
transportation operator Connexxion. The service allows residents aged
70 and older to use the city´s bus system to visit friends and
relatives, do errands and take advantage of community facilities by
supplying each participant with a free bus pass.

Arjo van Veenendaal, project manager for the Municipality of Enschede
stated, "Our collaboration with Multicard has been very positive.
Enschede is known as a dynamic, energetic and progressive business
community, so it was important that the introduction of the 70 + pass
was well organized, efficient and rapid. Multicard´s flexibility and
ability to improvise to get things done has been a significant help
in achieving this. Modifications and changes were implemented quickly
and Multicard has provided insights to address problems as they
arise, while keeping a close eye on what is desirable and possible.
That balance has led to a result that city management, and hopefully
our elderly residents, are very happy with."

According to Hennie Otto, Connexxion´s project manager for the free
transportation service, the enthusiasm for this project is
considerable and at least 90% of currently eligible residents are
expected to participate. To date, Multicard has processed enrolment
and mailed out the "70+" free public transport passes to 11,000
elderly residents of the city. Multicard and the Municipality of
Enschede expect to continue their cooperation in the future, as the
program is ongoing.

"In a country where population aging is a major trend, there is a
continual increase in demand for social services for older people -
such as the free public transportation program in Enschede," stated
Pieter Kooistra, managing director of Multicard Netherlands.
"Managing these types of programs requires a secure and flexible
platform for safeguarding the data collected from individual
participants, as well as the capability to act as an interface
between the community offering the program and the residents who will
use it. Multicard specializes in providing identity management
programs and integration services for smart communities,
universities, hospitals, emergency management and other markets where
there is a need for secure and efficient handling of personal data to
support ongoing program management and reporting."
