Blacklock’s- Feds Hire Digital ID Experts

Federal consultants have been hired at an undisclosed cost to centralize all public requests for federal documents into one digital ID system, says the Department of Social Development. The proposal is so complex it required “expertise we don’t have in-house,” said a department briefing note.

“Building this kind of system is complex and requires certain specialized tools and expertise we don’t have in-house,” said the May 20 note Digital Credentials Issue. “Based on international best practices we are asking industry to help.”
