Atlanta, December 08, 2005 – M2SYS Technology, an innovator in biometric technology research and development, announced it has finalized a long-term partnership agreement with Discus Dental, Inc., the leading manufacturer and seller of dental products and services for the dental healthcare industry, to integrate and distribute the M2SYS patent-pending fingerprint recognition solution called Bio-Plugin™ within the Discus Dental Software practice management suite. The solution is now available to Discus Dental’s expansive global customer base.

“Data protection is of paramount importance to a dental practice – and it’s not only patient data for confidentiality reasons, but it’s also practice financial data that needs to be protected. Adding fingerprint security capabilities to our practice management software makes it one of the most secure solutions available in the marketplace. We found that M2SYS provided the highest level of biometric security from all those we evaluated,” explained Discus Dental Software General Manager, Bruce Lieberthal, DDS.
