Our Premises business is focused on digitally enabling and securing every physical place and specifically provides our customers with the industry’s best and most complete line of Access Control, Video Surveillance & Intelligence, Access Readers, Access & Identity cards, fobs, mobile, and other credentials. Our platforms span on-site (aka server-based), cloud, mobile and hybrid architectures. Our customers span everything from the US government (the IRS, FBI, places like the White House, federal courthouses, and more) to airports, utilities, schools, hospitals down to the small businesses, branch offices, and even apartment buildings.

Our Identity business focuses on High-frequency/NFC-based advanced applications across medical devices, smart packaging, consumer engagement, logistics, and other data-intensive, experience-driven markets. Our customers include some of the largest medical and pharmaceutical companies, mobile device leaders, consumer brand leaders, and industrial systems leaders worldwide. Our products were incorporated into about 200 million products last year.

At Identiv, everyone matters, and everything we do matters. We believe having the best people in the most exciting, aligned, relevant, and empowered roles with clear missions, goals, and metrics, is the key to our success.

Our Values

Our key values are accountability for our commitments; respect for and support of all of our people at all times in all ways; customer orientation at all times, not just as words but as a true passion and feeling of obligation; always looking for better, more effective and efficient ways to do anything, because that serves our customers and helps us meet and exceed our commitments and drive the mission.
