Much of IBG's corporate and commercial work occurs in conjunction with Emerging Technologies departments. These divisions, charged with researching and evaluating biometric technologies and building long-term biometric strategies, benefit from IBG's extensive understanding of state-of-the-art biometric technologies and our experience in building real-world biometric solutions. Although biometrics are becoming an increasingly mainstream technology, deployment in employee and customer applications can be complex and risky. IBG reduces the risks of biometric deployment by walking its clients through the following critical stages:

• Requirements gathering, mapping industry trends to corporate strategic direction
• Evaluating technologies capable of addressing requirements
• Solution development and integration
• Piloting and implementation
• Full business model development

IBG has provided vendor-independent, technology-neutral services to most major systems integrators, many leading IT firms, and a wide range of corporations looking to drive revenues through integration of biometric functionality within their products and services.
