The Active Network Selects Patent-Pending M2SYS
Fingerprint Software for Rapid Integration into Application Solutions
Portfolio
Leading Provider of Application Services Technology and Marketing Access
for Community Services Organizations to Provide Global Customers with
Powerful Biometrics System for Enhanced Security, Ease-of-Use, and Cost
Savings
Atlanta, February 28, 2006 – M2SYS Technology, an innovator in biometric
technology research and development, announced today it has finalized a
long-term agreement with The Active Network, Inc., the leading provider of
application services technology and marketing access to community services
organizations. This agreement will benefit university campus recreation
programs, school districts, the higher education market, and parks and
recreation organizations by enabling The Active Network to integrate and
distribute M2SYS’ leading edge fingerprint technology within many of its
software applications to tighten security, reduce costs, create
operational efficiencies, and improve reporting accuracy. The Active
Network will also be distributing M2SYS’ Bio-TimeClock(TM) software, a
PC-based time data collection utility. Both solutions are now available to
The Active Network’s customers worldwide.
“We needed a robust biometric solution capable of meeting the unique
demands of our various market segments,” commented Alex Barnetson , Senior
Vice President of The Active Network, Inc. “For example, our university
customers need to quickly identify tens of thousands of members for access
to campus recreation facilities. Facilities are looking for a system that
can quickly verify any scan against a database of member scans, without
the need to enter in additional PINs. The M2SYS Bio-Plugin(TM) solution
was not only extremely easy to integrate, but also differentiates itself
by being able to process these high number of prints in a one-to-many
capacity with exceptional speed and accuracy.”
The Active Network’s technology enables community service organizations to
operate more efficiently. Community organizations using technology from
The Active Network provide more transparent insights into their operations
and therefore proof accountability to their community, their employees and
their board or council. They experience efficiency savings in the areas of
service delivery, operations and business planning. These savings enable
them to run lean with fewer resources and still improve the service they
offer to the members of their community. Customers can choose from a range
of deployment options, from hosted, to desktop to a hybrid of
hosted/desktop solution, depending on their organization's specific needs.
“We found there to be certain cost and efficiency limitations with some
1:1 only verification systems, which would still require a user to enter a
PIN or carry a keycard to be authenticated,” added Barnetson. “In
addition, the option of working with a fingerprint SDK would have required
a significant investment in development and ongoing support. The M2SYS
approach allowed us to rapidly adopt a proven fingerprint system that can
be the biometric module of our software application solution. M2SYS will
also provide employee and customer education that will help our sales and
marketing initiatives launch quicker then with other vendors. The level of
commitment, service, and support provided by M2SYS has just been
exceptional.”
Bio-Plugin(TM) enables software companies to quickly integrate a complete,
seamless fingerprint recognition system, including a high-performance 1:N
identification engine. Bio-Plugin(TM) eliminates the system dependencies,
extensive development, and specialized knowledge of biometric complexities
inherent to fingerprint technology SDKs. This enables software companies
to remain focused on their core products, while establishing a new revenue
channel with the addition of an integrated biometric component. Bio-TimeClock(TM)
is a PC-based biometric time and attendance data collection utility that
provides businesses a much more affordable alternative to capturing data
through a wall mounted time clock and improved security over card scanning
systems.
“The agreement between The Active Network and M2SYS continues to
demonstrate the effectiveness of our patented integration technology, and
once again confirms the M2SYS fingerprint recognition system is the
solution of choice for industry leading software providers,” commented
Mizan Rahman, CEO and Chief Scientist/Engineer of M2SYS. “By using Bio-Plugin(TM),
Active saved considerable development time, enabling them to rapidly
deploy a first-class biometric system, while remaining focused on their
core applications. Additionally, Active is gaining a long-term technology
partner in M2SYS that is focused on continually providing unparalleled,
cutting-edge biometric solutions.”
