How It Works

Your campus, connected.

FutureState sits between your university systems and every credential-related tool you rely on so data moves cleanly and instantly, no matter the vendor.

A smarter credential lifecycle.

CardSync™  enforces rules automatically so every system stays aligned. All rules are defined in one place, eliminating fragmented logic across multiple systems. Examples include:

Creation, modification, and suspension of credentials

Which systems can override another

Eligibility for physical vs. mobile credential issuance

When to charge users for credential actions

Credential Management

CardSync™ becomes your centralized credential management layer, enabling:

Which systems can override another

Automated enforcement of rules and hierarchy

Instant propagation of changes to downstream systems

CardSync™ gives you control over how credentials are created, managed, and enforced across your entire campus.

Upstream flexibility

You are no longer forced to use your one-card vendor’s mobile credential manager.

CardSync™ gives you the ability to select the partner that fits your security, innovation, or pricing needs.

Credential Issuance & Modification Systems


Any system you prefer can act as the credential creation interface, whether it’s Access Control, Public Safety, a custom app, or a third-party tool.
