Configurable software supports government and commercial users as they enroll, identify, authenticate, and manage identities across fingerprint, face, iris, and voice modalities. The portfolio combines license-based products with a developing cloud-delivery component.
Configurable biometric identity software spans mobile onboarding and authentication, large-scale matching and deduplication, law-enforcement identification, and integration workflows. AwareSDK, AwareABIS, AFIX, the Awareness Platform, and WebEnroll serve government and commercial users through direct sales and channel partners.
Fingerprint, face, iris, and voice capabilities are supplied through software components, SDKs, APIs, and applications, alongside project-management and engineering services for large deployments. Perpetual and fixed-term licensing remain the primary delivery model, while selected offerings are moving toward cloud delivery. Procurement timing, government contracting, channel partners, technology change, and customer acceptance of cloud delivery shape the operating model.
