There has been a tremendous expansion of the market for biometrics and smart cards, and nowadays many laptops have built-in fingerprint readers. What is needed now is simple access to standardized security products for biometrics and smart cards for the cost-effective replacement of passwords. At the same time there must be cost-effective products for the large number of computers in which fingerprint readers are not installed. By launching Precise 100 XS we have made it possible to easily, quickly and above all cost-effectively, enhance the IT security of many companies, organizations and public authorities throughout the world.

We are naturally pleased that once again the Thai authorities have entrusted us to deliver biometrics for the national ID cards. We have calculated that this second phase of the project is worth about SEK 20 million in revenue during a three-year period. The revenue include licenses for Precise Match-on-Card technology and licenses for fingerprint readers, but we will also receive revenue from maintenance services and sales of hardware.
