Danish Government Awards Vision-Box(R) And Biometric Solutions As Preferred Suppliers Of Biometric-based Automated Enrollment And Border Control Solutions
The Danish Government has awarded the consortium of Biometric Solutions and Vision-Box® with a 4-year framework agreement on the procurement of biometric-based solutions and components for both Enrollment and Automated Border Control. Under this agreement the consortium will deliver biometric equipment and related services to, among others, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).
- (1888PressRelease) August 28, 2014 - By means of this framework agreement, the Danish Government intends to improve processes related to citizen's electronic identity. The biometric technology provided by the consortium will be used in several Ministries' missions for Danish citizen and foreigners' enrollment for passport, visa and residence permits.
The Danish Government will thus be able to benefit from Vision-Box®'s large portfolio of advanced Identity Management solutions. One of the key parts of the whole solution will be a portable biographic and biometric enrollment & verification solution, the vb e-pass® portable, an all-in-one unit that collects a citizen's face and fingerprint biometric data, as well as their digital signature. The versatility and size of vb e-pass® portable are the key drivers for multiple applications, including extra mobility in citizen identification and enrollment, and enhanced security checks across the country. The partner, Biometric Solutions, will contribute with its existing Enrollment portfolio, already deployed at Danish embassies and municipalities to enroll citizens in accordance with applicable rules and regulatory requirements.
"We look forward to working with the Danish Government, and our partner Biometric Solutions, to provide the best citizen experience ever. For that, we are committed to providing state-of-the-art technology, designed to offer more efficient and convenient services related to Electronic Identity.", says Jean-François Lennon, Director of Global Business Development, Sales & Marketing at Vision-Box®.
Alex Ramskov Johannsen, CEO of Biometric Solutions, declares: "We are very happy that our collaboration with Vision-Box will help government institutions raise their service level for citizens around the world, while at the same time strengthening the security measures protecting citizens' personal data."
With this agreement, effective since February 2014, the two companies are consolidating their position in this region of the globe, where Vision-Box® has been the market leader for some years, with a strong presence in The Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Latvia and Estonia, while Denmark is the native territory of Biometric Solutions.
