Under this agreement, Unisys can integrate Viisage's face recognition image capture system and other face recognition technologies with its solutions for government, transportation, financial services and other markets. The goal is to provide end-to-end solutions and thereby expand client options for building accurate and reliable identification capabilities into their operations for better security. This alliance brings together complementary technologies and services. Viisage has developed leadership face recognition applications for a number of corrections, social services and law enforcement customers. Unisys is a leading systems integrator with extensive experience deploying biometric and personal identification solutions globally since 1994 for national ID cards, government and military access, voter registration, social security/health care identification, and driver's licenses as well as for airline and airport processes. "By integrating Viisage's face recognition system into Unisys solutions, we are able to provide the market with an unparalleled complete end-to-end solution," said Tom Colatosti, Viisage president and CEO. "Unisys is a premier provider of solutions to the government and other sectors and our alliance will help them provide additional value to their customers."
