An Open Biometric Workflow and Integration Platform
Aware’s Biometric Services Platform (BioSP™) is the industry leading middleware platform that enables the critical connection between the various components of biometric systems. However, cost of ownership for internal development of middleware for complex processing and standards compliance requires unique skills that need to be maintained. Long term maintenance and upgrades require continuous support to meet changing regulations and security resilience.
BioSP provides easy to adopt biometric services with multiple pre-configured use cases that solve biometric processing, background checks and integration with global identity organizations.
