Ethiopia is one of the latest countries to implement a biometric national ID system. While the government has just recently completed the pilot project, it is already learning from countries that have already deployed digital biometric national identity systems, which will help it avoid costly mistakes. The groundwork is being built for the identification system’s […]

Payroll fraud isn’t new; it’s actually been occurring for decades. It is commonly seen where corruption is rife, higher-ups look the other way, and robust technology, like biometric identification and verification, isn’t used to reduce these illegal practices. A few African nations are still facing these issues continuously. Several public employees indeed continue to receive […]

Software solutions have been used for decades. In fact, the first software was written all the way back in 1948! These were created to digitize and automate processes, minimize errors, improve efficiency, and streamline operations, among other benefits. While it took some time for software solutions to trickle down for everyday users, we’re at a […]

Government projects are extremely complex and so are biometric projects, and when you involve biometrics in government projects, pulling one off successfully becomes a herculean task. In fact, unless experienced parties are involved with government biometric projects, it might spell disaster. You see, government projects have several layers, multiple requirements, and are typically large in […]

Government digitization has been around for quite some time, and those involved in these projects know how complicated they can get. Biometric government projects, however, are in a league of their own. For identity-based government projects, specialized biometric hardware and software solutions are fundamental, all of which must work together seamlessly with the core solution. […]

Government digitization projects depend on several factors—including the numerous devices and software used. For instance, a Law Enforcement Management System and biometric hardware are required for law enforcement and suspect identification. However, no matter how well the project is planned or implemented, it won’t serve its purpose if the chosen hardware and software don’t work […]
