If you get a chance, you should pick up the October issue of Access Control and Security Systems magazine. The feature article is called 'Biometrics in the Mainstream' and there are a few quotes from our CEO. Also included are thoughts from AuthenTec, BIO-key, LG, Fujitsu, Samsung, Identix, and much more.

Biometrics is definitely a two-tier process, each company embedded within the other's strategy, creating success and value for each other."
