Center of Excellence

4Gid established a Centre of Excellence at its Corporate Head Quarters with the main objective of bridging the gap between the existing isolated biometric technologies developed in labs and the expectations from the clients on end-to-end identity solutions based on biometric technologies. After a thorough R&D exercise 4Gid achieved major success by bridging this gap through the concept of Multi-modal biometric Identity platform and was able to deploy some of the world’s largest biometric deployments on this platform.
