AMAG and Identity One cooperatively tested and certified this integration.

“AMAG customers now have the option to integrate their Symmetry Security Management System with Identity One’s state-of-the-art BioManager biometric middleware, providing another option for their biometrics needs,” said AMAG Technology, Symmetry Extended Business Solution, Program Manager, Shae Taylor. “I am excited they have joined AMAG’s Extended Business Solutions Program, and look forward to working with them and providing cutting edge solutions for end users.”

“The BioManager / Symmetry integration provides customers with a seamless link between Symmetry card holders and the latest finger vein/print and 3D face biometric technology,” said David Smith, CEO, Identity One Corporation. “Combining the most accurate and reliable fingerprint, finger vein\print and 3D face  biometrics available with the feature rich Symmetry access control platform provides end users with the most convenient and most secure access control solution available.”

The Symmetry and BioManager integration provides many benefits for end users:
