Aware is on a team led by Fujitsu Services Limited selected to supply the biometric matcher integration hub.

BioSP is often selected to serve as the foundation of a biometric system because of its maturity and proven performance, ease of configuration, and it's open, modular design. By building a system upon BioSP, stakeholders can be assured of enabling a solution that is reliable, interoperable, and future-proof. "BioSP is the leading biometric platform because of its rich feature set, rapid configurability, and proven reliability for mission-critical applications, all provided as an off-the-shelf software product," commented Rob Mungovan, Vice President Biometrics at Aware.
