Biometrics Institute offers new online information portal for the biometrics industry
"As the industry grows the need for information and collaboration is imperative for continued advancement in the industry," says Isabelle Moeller, Chief Executive of the Biometrics Institute, "the Biometrics Institute has made this investment for its members and other key stakeholders to help the industry in this realisation."
The online portal offers a secure members only area with a searchable supplier directory and a resource library as well as an up-to-date online news service through our alliance partner Planet Biometrics.
Many areas of the site will be available to the public including news updates, a Frequently Asked Questions section, an events calendar and an abbreviated version of the supplier directory. The site will be an invaluable information tool for the industry.
The Biometrics Institute has over 120 members of which 50% are users or prospective users of the technology. Suppliers wishing to demonstrate their presence in the industry or raise their profile will want to be listed in this directory.
Members of the Biometrics Institute can search the supplier directory for contact details and types of services supplied. They can also access the resource library where they are able to add papers, reports and information, make comments and rate documents.
The Biometrics Institute was established as an independent not-for-profit organisation in Australia in 2001 and is now operating at an international level with over 120 members. Its members cover a wide range of suppliers, users such as banks, airlines, governments and law enforcement authorities as well as research organisations.
The Biometrics Institute's constitution requires that vendors are represented on the Board but independence is assured by the majority control being vested in users. This guarantees independence from commercial control but assists suppliers to act as good corporate citizens.
