SAP and Daon Provide Public Security Customers with Access to Wide Range of Biometric Solutions

"By achieving the SAP NetWeaver certification, we are making it possible for public security organizations to move away from point-to-point security solutions to a more holistic data management process that incorporates biometrics,” said Tom Grissen, CEO of Daon. “With more countries applying biometrics, clients can now achieve more benefits from their SAP platform without the need to invest in additional infrastructure. In addition, the integration of our platform with SAP NetWeaver enables biometrics and geographical information systems to run smoothly with all types of SAP systems. This is a key element for business software providers who want to succeed in the public security market.”


Products seeking “Certified for SAP NetWeaver” status undergo a comprehensive assessment of their delivery and operational capabilities. The certification ensures that customers can benefit from simpler IT integration and greater flexibility to run their business.


Daon is an active member of SAP's Industry Value Network for Public Security. This group brings together customers, partners and SAP to develop solutions that solve the unique challenges of the public security industry. The solutions are based on an enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) and open standards to fuel a new dimension of industry interoperability and collaboration.
