Clients and Testimonials

IBG works on behalf of its clients to design, deploy, test, and evaluate biometric solutions. This "clients-first" perspective ensures that IBG understands its clients' requirements, interests, and resources prior to building biometric strategies or solutions. IBG is vendor-independent and technology-neutral, supported by years of hands-on experience with every production biometric technology. 

IBG clients include a broad range of government, commercial, and corporate institutions.  

"IBG's role in the biometric industry is critical, helping customers make the right technology decisions by establishing metrics for biometrics technologies."
Glenn Pittaway, Program Manager, Microsoft 

"We look forward to reviewing the results of IBG's evaluations, and gaining a third party perspective on the real world performance of leading biometric technologies." 
Patrick Morin, Managing Director, American Airlines

"The BioAPI Steering Committee is very pleased to be working with IBG on this porting effort. One of the main strengths of the BioAPI Specification is that it is an open, platform-independent standard. The availability of the BioAPI for the Solaris platform will greatly affect the availability of biometric solutions for heterogeneous and non-Windows-based systems. Combining this effort with the unique talent and expertise that International Biometric Group possesses will ensure a successful implementation."
Cathy Tilton, BioAPI Consortium Chairperson

"We've worked with IBG on biometric projects both domestically and internationally. Their position as an independent consultancy with extensive practical experience using biometrics makes them uniquely qualified to conduct this type of exhaustive systems evaluation."
David Troy, EDS Senior Project Manager 

"A couple of years ago, in response to the question, 'Does anyone have any information on the relative performance of these (biometric) products?' I wrote the following:

Now in 2001, little of this has changed, except that the International Biometric Group has set up a system to work through the process in an extremely timely and cost effective manner, so that test results of currently marketed devices can be made economically available to prospective users...I would not want to initiate any large biometric pilot project without first seeing test results of this type for the devices of interest."
Dr. James L. Wayman, former Director of the National Biometric Test Center

"There are scores of companies developing and commercializing biometric technologies. Independent tests and evaluations provide essential information to be used in selecting vendors."
Vincent Furno, Director, Information Technologies & Identification Systems, Lockheed Martin

"Financial institutions considering biometric solutions must fully understand the tradeoffs between various biometric technologies as deployed across different real world scenarios. This insight is best gained through independent, comparative testing as provided by IBG."
Zachary Tumin, Executive Director of Financial Services Technology Consortium

"IBG is the logical choice to evaluate ILEFIS and its market potential. A key consideration was that IBG is an independent firm with extensive experience evaluating and integrating biometrics in real world applications."
Lawrence Kosiba, director of Office of Law Enforcement Technology Commercialization.

"We reproduce below in Appendix B a very good set of detailed Privacy Best Deployment Practices for Biometrics developed by the International Biometrics Group. These are general in application rather than related to MRTDs but should be helpful to ICAO in making policy decisions and setting standards for the use of biometrics in MRTDs."
The law firm of Clayton Utz, in a document prepared for the Australian Customs Service for presentation to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
