Government Capabilities

International Biometric Group provides vendor-independent, technology-neutral biometric services and solutions to government agencies undertaking large-scale projects and initiatives.

IBG has extensive experience working with state and federal agencies in the United States, as well as with government bodies across North America, Europe, and Asia. IBG's vendor-independent, technology-neutral position in the biometric industry allows us to provide objective, clear, and comprehensive guidance on technical and non-technical issues. Providing biometric solutions and services for government-sector clients requires a special understanding of privacy, interoperability, standards, and accuracy. Government projects generally involve a broad array of stakeholders, often with competing interests and opinions regarding the use of biometrics. A broad range of technologies are suitable for deployment in employee authentication, citizen ID projects, or enabling access to government services. Building long-term solutions, however, necessitates real-world familiarity with the capabilities and limitations of biometrics technology.

Whether you need help developing an RFP or designing an interoperable smart-card based solution, or are looking for independent consulting services based on real-world experience, IBG minimizes the risks involved in design, evaluation, and deployment of biometric systems.
