Watch this video for views from leading biometrics specialists on how to reap the benefits offered by biometric solutions while preserving and enhancing the individual’s right to privacy.

Advances in technology and improvements in IT infrastructure are helping to position biometric technology as a powerful enabler, driving new services and applications that are changing the face of citizens’ everyday activities.

“Automation and identification tools and processes can not only improve public safety and security, but also simplify and considerably enhance the experiences of citizens’ daily lives,” says Mark Crego, Accenture Global Border and Identity lead.

Where is the impact of biometrics being felt today? What are the benefits being realized by governments and citizens alike from the growing acceptance of biometrics?

Teaming with global public service organisations, Accenture has identified four areas where a holistic approach to biometrics is realising value.

• Safeguarding borders while encouraging trade and travel
• Improving policing and public safety
• Reducing incidents of identity theft
• Enabling the secure delivery of government services to citizens

Having worked on some of the largest biometrics programs in the world, Accenture believes that using biometrics technologies to recognise citizens and customers, coupled with streamlined processes and effective organisational design, will not only deliver strong identity management capabilities but also lead to better business outcomes and, ultimately, high performance.
