Atlanta, August 17, 2006 – M2SYS Technology, a leading biometric technology research and development firm, today announced a new version release of Bio-Plugin™, a fully developed, server-based, enterprise fingerprint recognition system that can be rapidly deployed, in many cases with no additional development whatsoever. The patent-pending technology can utilize any vendor-independent fingerprint algorithm and supported hardware devices, offering unparalleled ease of adoption for software developers and end users.

“As a complete fingerprint system, Bio-Plugin™ snaps onto any data management application to enable instantaneous fingerprint recognition capabilities,” commented Mizan Rahman, CEO and Chief Scientist for M2SYS. “With this new release, we can immediately add support in Bio-Plugin™ for any fingerprint algorithm and hardware device so that software providers and end users seeking fingerprint functionality can avoid development headaches and instead remain focused on their core competencies. With this innovative solution, customers can realize the benefits of rapid integration and have complete flexibility in their fingerprint technology selection process.”

Bio-Plugin™ eliminates time consuming and costly development work, and is completely independent of the host application into which it is integrated. Since no run-time compilation is necessary, changes made to Bio-Plugin™ do not impact the host application, and vice versa, enabling developers to concentrate on their core product without having to worry about supporting a sophisticated fingerprint software module.

The unique client-server solution has an open architecture allowing for rapid support of leading fingerprint matching algorithms and fingerprint scanners. This enables companies to test multiple algorithms or make quick replacements without having to worry about the burden of extensive development.

“Bio-Plugin™ is a truly disruptive solution that has the potential to significantly affect the rate of biometric technology adoption in our global marketplace,” asserted Michael Trader, President of M2SYS. “With Bio-Plugin™, matching algorithm and fingerprint hardware providers partnered with M2SYS can now accelerate time-to-market for their integrators and reduce development headaches, which translate into tangible top and bottom line results.”

M2SYS Technology, https://www.m2sys.com, is a forward thinking, biometric research and development company. Its portfolio includes Bio-Plugin™, a patent-pending biometrics solution that software providers can use to rapidly adopt a turn-key, seamless, server-based biometric technology system with minimal development effort.
