ImageWare Systems
Corporate Profile
Formed in 1987, ImageWare Systems Inc., (IWS) is a publicly traded, USA based company. From inception, our company has focused on highly innovative advanced technology solutions. This evolution of technology advancement, industry leadership and measurable implementation experience has positioned ImageWare as a leader in the identity management industry, particularly in the segments of biometrics, public safety, secure credentialing and controlled access. This is reflected in the wide scale market acceptance of our flagship products and solutions:
IWS Biometric Engine™:
The foundation of our biometric identity management solution, the IWS Biometric Engine is a scalable, agnostic, multi-biometric identity management platform that ensures only valid individuals gain access to controlled areas. Allowing for multi-biometric searching and matching, the Biometric Engine provides a scalable solution that allows organizations to manage population databases of unlimited sizes. In addition, the Biometric Engine is technology and hardware agnostic, enabling users to employ biometric devices and algorithms from any vendor, as well as support the combination of the following biometric types: finger, face, iris, hand geometry, palm, DNA, signature, voice, 3D face and retina. In fact, the Biometric Engine currently supports ninety-three hardware devices and methods or image acquisitions as well as sixty-five biometric algorithms, positioning this technology as leading the market in biometric identity management support.
EPI Builder™:
A software developer's kit that enables software engineers to create custom identification solutions or incorporate ID functionality into existing applications. IWS EPI Builder is used to create everything from simple, corporate ID cards to passports, driver licenses, transit cards, national medical cards, national IDs and more. IWS EPI Builder supports virtually any biometric and has plug and play capabilities with a variety of biometric capture devices and readers. This enables developers to quickly and easily switch from one biometric to another or exchange devices to meet customer requirements.
EPI Suite™:
Used worldwide for producing state-of-the-art secure credential and identification solutions, these solutions enable users to create custom card layouts with secure design features and capture text, images and biometric data. All this information can then be printed on an ID card or credential with magnetic stripes, bar codes and smart chips. These custom credentials can range from straight-forward ID cards to complex documents such as driver licenses, passports or national IDs and health cards.
Desktop Security™:
A comprehensive authentication management platform that is optimized to enhance corporate security and usability, avoiding unauthorized access to mission-critical data.
IWS Law Enforcement™:
An industry leading digital booking, investigative and identification product.
At ImageWare, we fully understand the complexity of the increasing worldwide identity management challenges. We address this by combining a powerful multiple- biometric identity management layer with proven access control and secure credentialing solutions. In this initiative, we currently serve a wide variety of vertical markets including:
Public Safety / Law Enforcement
Federal, State and Local Governments
Aviation
Banking
Healthcare
Telecommunications
One challenge lies in the fact that one biometric will not be sufficient for all applications. A single infrastructure is needed for optimal identity management. Without a single infrastructure, a re-investment will be required for each new biometric deployment. In addition, these deployments provide the ability to share data, which further increases integration overhead. Our unique solution incorporates an agnostic approach. We currently support ninety-three (93) biometric hardware devices and sixty-five (65) algorithms. This element alone positions ImageWare as poised to become the industry standard architecture for a common biometric identity management infrastructure.
Our open architecture approach introduces the only solution available that incorporates a common infrastructure, allows for the orchestration of multiple biometrics, provides the flexibility to incorporate the appropriate biometric for the situation, provides the storage capacity to maintain unlimited and sustainable data, addresses the necessity to evolve as technology changes and ensures adherence to standards. In other words, the IWS Biometric Engine technology provides a multi-biometric, scalable, portable solution that will accelerate your rapid deployment of infinite biometric devices and algorithms.
This is why ImageWare solutions appeal to all sectors of the market; System Integrators, Governments, hardware device manufacturers, Value Added Resellers and end users. ImageWare provides them with proven technology that is deployed today in vital identity verification and management applications worldwide. Technology solutions that will meet the unique and critical identity authentication requirements today and into the future.
