Optimizing government services across industries<\/p>\n
By choosing the SAAQ and its existing contract with Gemalto, the Quebec healthcare authorities can avoid duplication and promote sharing of expertise between agencies. The province can also leverage the existing infrastructure and issue both healthcare cards and driver\u2019s licenses at the same time, maximizing cost savings and ensuring quicker delivery to their citizens.<\/p>\n
A focus on security and convenience for Quebec\u2019s citizens<\/p>\n
Gemalto\u2019s secure card will be the first of its kind to undergo embossing and laser engraving at the same time. Combined with a cutting-edge card body with built-in security features, this process greatly improves the reliability of Quebec\u2019s healthcare card. Gemalto also provides the full implementation and maintenance of SAAQ’s personalization infrastructure. This enables the SAAQ and RAMQ to offer Quebec citizens a seamless and speedy renewal service when obtaining their new driver’s license and healthcare card.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe unique opportunity to provide both healthcare cards and driver\u2019s licenses is perfectly suited to Gemalto\u2019s expertise with over twenty years of issuing secure documents. Being the first to emboss and engrave at the same time provides more options to our customers who have legacy infrastructures for validation and allows us to provide a lower risk of fraud and stronger, longer lasting cards to residents\u201d<\/p>\n
