What are Innovatrics ExpressID AFIS competitive advantages against other AFIS providers?
1. Faster matching speed on standard off-the-shelf PC: Other AFIS providers use specific hardware (Risc processors or proprietary hardware accelerators). The specific hardware is expensive to buy and to maintain, since you can buy them only from AFIS vendors directly, as opposed to commercial off-the-shelf PCs. 2. Higher accuracy: Other AFIS providers use techniques such as classification (separating database depending on the fingerprint pattern) which introduce errors. We use exhaustive search: every request matches 100% of fingerprints in the database. 3. Better affordability: Together with the possibility to use commercial off-the-shelf PCs, we offer the best price/performance ratio on the market. 4. Flexible payment terms: Other AFIS providers require 100% upfront payment. Our customers can pay per blocks as the AFIS database grows. This reduces financial burden on system integrators who must often finance projects upfront, such as BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer).
