e-Smart® and InfoZen to Team:
Companies Join Biometric Technology With Information Management
Washington DC, March 10, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall
via COMTEX/ — e-Smart® Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: ESMT),
today announced that it has entered into a "Teaming Agreement" with InfoZen,
Inc., a leader in information management, specializing in Risk Management
and Secure Solutions, Transformational and Strategic Solutions, and E-government
and Infrastructure Services.
Under the terms of the Teaming Agreement, the parties have agreed to work
to identify projects, beginning with the US government on domestic homeland
security projects and expanding to commercial and international projects,
which will integrate the unique biometric and other security technologies
and systems developed by e-Smart® with the proven experience and superior
background verification, credentialing and Automatic Adjudication system
of InfoZen.
As an established leader in risk management, credentialing and secure
solutions, InfoZen's advanced and unique RapidAdjudicator credentialing
and verification platform was recently deployed by the United States Federal
Government.
e-Smart® is the exclusive supplier for the USA and Asia of the Biometric
Verification Security System ("BVS2"), featuring the Super
Smart Card, which experts believe to be the world's only commercially
available smart card with a full on-card system for biometric ID verification.
e-Smart® is also the supplier of the Super Smart Passport, the world's
first digital passport that authenticates the passport holder's identity
via an on-board fingerprint sensor and biometric matching system wirelessly
powered, with no physical connection required.
Commenting on the Teaming Agreement, Raj Ananthanpillai, CEO of InfoZen,
said, "In the face of the growing need for safe, timely and accurate information
to assure domestic security, it seems wholly appropriate for InfoZen and
e-Smart® to join forces. It is important to piece together all the critical
information and analyze them in a timely fashion. Together, InfoZen and
e-Smart® can provide credentialing and identity management solutions."
Mary Grace, President and CEO of e-Smart® commented, "There is nothing
more important than the safety and security of the American people, and
by coupling e-Smart®'s advanced biometric technology with InfoZen's highly
respected information management systems and services we are ever closer
to delivering that most necessary peace of mind."
