A team of industry vets has formed a new company, Imadgen, to help state and federal agencies and corporations with identity management initiatives.

Two of their colleagues from MAXIMUS, Margaret Melhem and Cheryl Owens, have joined them at Imadgen. Laura Carter, with experience in well-known EBT and federal ID projects, rounds out the initial team.

The company’s focus, says Mr. Glickman, “is in the areas of identity management, health care access, benefit and service delivery, and emerging technologies such as NFC and new card types.” To learn more about the new company, visit www.Imadgen.com.
