EPC FAQ

The EPC Network and How it Works

The merging of the physical and digital world is dramatically changing the traditional customer relationship. Companies are becoming more comfortable with consumers being part of the purchase process, whether in driving new technology or interacting with the business. At the same time, consumers feel more empowered to not just participate in, but to affect business processes, such as personalization and payment options, and how they access information.

In this new environment, where consumers are more deeply engaged in everyday business processes and companies must react faster than ever to both consumer and industry demands, the need for accurate, real-time, secure information is growing.

Businesses must also consider other factors, such as:

The increasing importance of identifiers in consumer-facing applications;
The need for scalability, security, and trust as applications move online and converge across mobile, desktop, and media; and
An increased need and desire for consumer privacy.

VeriSign is focused on developing not only the products or services to meet the needs of business in this new world, but also the global framework that will govern their implementation and adoption.
