While you may have sensed that I'm impressed that NRID is trying to do the right thing now, you may also have noticed that I think it is probably too late. "Powerhouse products" sell, and so far no sales. . . and a burn rate with an end in sight, if there is no more dilution or similar financing . . . so I'm not tempted to buy a company that has such a good chance of going belly up soon.
Second, while IDX has been selling hardware, it's clear from their purchase of BAT, a software shop, Fowler's comments in public forums, and even INS remarks on use of IDX technology with potentially competing scanners, that IDX is aimed at software, as well.
While NRID is making its SAF system more accessible, which is good, there is no assurance that SAF will win out in the marketplace. Right now, IDX has most of the biometrics applications market. I don't see why they would rescue NRID from the brink by buying into SAF, particularly when both companies see software dominance as the ultimate goal.
But I can see your motto is, "Don't worry, be HAAPI." |
