"The way personal credentials are managed today is antiquated
and incredibly burdensome on individuals, government agencies, and
private organizations," said Merit CEO Tomer Kagan. "Our new
platform digitizes trust by establishing digital identity
ecosystems where data flows freely yet remains highly secure,
breaking down long-standing barriers across agencies and
industries. This is the missing link for the next wave of digital
transformation in government."
To understand the vision behind this transformative platform,
Merit has released a white paper detailing how interconnected
digital identity ecosystems will fundamentally change how people
interact with government. The company's approach digitizes trust in
a way that simplifies everyday life while protecting privacy.
America's Identity Verification Bottleneck
The government's processes for verifying identities and personal
data remain stuck in the past, mired in paper documentation and
manual checks. This creates immense costs and delays across the
public and private sectors, even though digital transformation has
revolutionized most other services.
As Kagan explains, "While you can get approved for a $50,000 car
loan during a test drive, it takes 12 weeks to certify California's
new electricians as that industry faces a labor shortage."
Twelve weeks is meaningful when it comes to families putting
food on the table thanks to an analog approach that drains state
workforces and budgets already under strain. Yet the sluggish
process remains because verifying data like age, income, or
credentials requires tedious manual lookups, phone calls, and even
faxing documents in 2024. This creates frustrating bottlenecks like
waiting in lines at the DMV—hassles that leading digital services
have long bypassed.
A New Model for Digitizing Trust
Merit's platform solves this long-standing challenge by creating
direct digital connections between trusted personal data, in the
form of digital credentials, and the entities requiring it. This
allows seamless automation of verification workflows while giving
individuals full transparency and control over their data.
Kagan added, "Digital identity is the key to unlocking more
efficient, automated government services that meet modern
expectations – saving time and resources while better protecting
personal data."
The full white paper detailing Merit's powerful vision and
approach is available for download here. Organizations can also
register for Merit's upcoming webinar on July 31st to explore the
concepts further here.
