October 2022 - RMIT - New identityONE Installation

This allows for situations such as Staff contract extensions to be identified early, then identityONE is able to re-issue their card or digital credential without any disruption to their ongoing duties, without previous user contact. A fantastic feature that we were happy to help develop.
