Every successful ecosystem thrives on a well-coordinated layered architecture, where each layer has a specific role. In the world of digital credentials, this structure becomes even more critical, as it ensures secure, seamless, and scalable operations. At the core of this ecosystem are three key components, each playing a vital role:

Choosing the right plumbing

As an integrator, you sit in the middle of this ecosystem, and the success of your digital credential solutions largely depends on the quality of your infrastructure partner. Just like you wouldn’t hire an amateur plumber for your home, choosing the right infrastructure partner is critical for building secure, reliable, and scalable systems.

When evaluating potential partners, consider these key factors:

  • Professionalism and accuracy: Just like you wouldn’t hire an amateur plumber to handle your home’s water system, you don’t want a subpar infrastructure partner. Digital credentials infrastructure needs to be professional, accurate, and fit for purpose. Every piece of your solution—from identity verification to credential issuance—needs to work flawlessly, especially since end-users won’t tolerate errors or friction.
  • Ease of integration: Plumbing systems should connect seamlessly with existing fixtures; the same applies to your infrastructure. It should offer tools and APIs that integrate effortlessly with your workflows, ensuring a smooth installation and operation process.
  • Invisibility: Great plumbing is something you never notice. It just works. The same applies to digital credentials infrastructure. As an integrator, you don’t want your customers or their end-users to feel the weight of your infrastructure layer. It should be designed to be completely unnoticeable while delivering rock-solid performance.
  • Support and expertise: When plumbing problems arise, you rely on an expert to provide guidance and solutions. Likewise, your infrastructure partner should act as an extension of your team, offering the expertise needed to help you deliver successful outcomes.
  • Future-proof standards: A modern plumbing system is designed to accommodate future upgrades, such as new water-saving technologies. Similarly, your infrastructure should align with global standards and evolve as the industry changes to stay ahead of the curve.
  • Scalability: Just as plumbing in a large building needs to handle the water demands of hundreds of users, your infrastructure must grow to meet increasing demands. It should expand seamlessly as your needs evolve, avoiding blockages or capacity issues.
  • Flexibility: Plumbing systems adapt to the unique needs of a house, an apartment building, or an industrial facility. Similarly, your infrastructure must accommodate the specific requirements of industries like finance, government, or retail—whether you're building a new solution or upgrading an existing one.
